My pal Richard Dansky just launched a new feature at his website, a series of short interviews with other authors. I’m flattered to be the first in the lineup. Rich asked some great questions, and I enjoyed responding to them as best I could. Be sure to check it out.

Rich, by the way, is a true gentleman and a connoisseur of many fine things, including incredible scotches. He’s also the head Clancy writer for Red Storm Entertainment and a cracking-good novelist to boot. Look for Firefly Rain, his first original (non-tie-in) novel—and the inaugural title—from Wizards of the Coast’s shiny new imprint for such books, in January 2008.
