Author Interview M. A. Carrick From Gaming to Co-Writing ‘The Mask of Mirrors’

Join M. A. Carrick and me as we discuss how their tabletop game turned into co-writing ‘The Mask of Mirrors’.

We also discover how Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms met in 2000 on an archaeological dig in Wales and Ireland; co-writing contracts and schedules; dividing responsibility between agents and publishing with Orbit; Marie’s experience attending the Hugo Awards after ‘A Natural History of Dragons’ received nomination; Alyc’s management advice for those starting new jobs and experience working for a tech company; celebrating the small milestones; pandemic burnout; the influence of anime, gaming and manga on writing and characterisations; and why Marie dislikes the term ‘Writers Block.’

I had so much fun talking with Marie and Alyc and can definitely see how the two friends were able to create such an incredible world and story in the ‘Rook & Rose’ series. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!
