Mike invited me to his “palatial” suite at Gen Con 2014, and I happily accepted the invite.  It isn’t every day that an aspiring author has the chance to speak with a best selling author about the industry.

Mike and I discussed:

  • His Gen Con seminars
  • The Crusader Road, his first Pathfinder novel
  • Possibility of a second Pathfinder novel
  • His next book
  • His day job

You can find Mike on Twitter.

One of the people I wanted to interview at Gen Con was Marc Tassin.  Marc is the director of the Writer’s Symposium at Gen Con.  Which as some of you may know has been the driving force behind me as a blogger.

 

Here are the highlights:

  • Symposium history
  • Panels that focus on making authors better
  • Strength in the community, which includes guests of honor and regular authors
  • What the Symposium has become and is becoming
  • Request for volunteers
