SFF Addicts Ep. 61: R.R. Virdi talks The First Binding, Storytelling, Urban Fantasy & More
Join co-hosts Adrian M. Gibson and M.J. Kuhn as they chat with bestselling author R.R. Virdi about his acclaimed novel The First Binding, how Jim Butcher and The Dresden Files inspired him, starting out in self-publishing and how that compares to traditional publishing, the power of stories across time, writing as work (even though we love it), genre bullshit, mythology, Star Wars and much more.
NOTE: This is part one of a two-part chat with Ronnie. Stayed tuned next week for his mini-masterclass on The Hero's/Heroine's Journey.
WARNING: There is mention of suicide/depression in this episode.
