Sorry for the slow reply! But good news, EMPIRE comes out TOMORROW! April 26. Hope you enjoy it!

Sorry for the super slow reply. I didn't know this feature even existed! They are not all required reading. I suggest reading Callsign: Rook for sure. And maybe Knight. The rest are fairly optional, but they're all still good reading!

(I know I am late on this one, so you will have to let me know which book you are asking about. With that said...)
I just finished writing "Feast." It's the sequel to "Hunger." My friend Christopher (who now hosts the Beware Of Monsters podcast) was really getting into local food. He and his wife even have a cow. He was telling me all this stuff about what was being done to industrial food and a lot of legal trickery some major companies had done to get very weird things into the food supply. He would also tell me about what different synthetics supposedly did to the body. He was going off on this a lot. Then I thought, what if it's all true and one of these companies created a food that was resistant to everything. What if it also changed the people who ate it. So now the people like Christopher who are "off the grid" for their food are the only one's safe from becoming a monster, but they have to survive in this world where anyone who was eating the food is becoming a monster. That just seemed like an awesome ride to me.

I know that some writers really struggle with that. It's not something I have really had to deal with. When I started writing, I read Stephen King's "On Writing" and took his advice to heart. He said that you just need to schedule to write every day. When you do that, it just becomes what you do. I don't know if it would work for everyone, but he's done well with it and it has been good advice for me.

Mostly from dreams and daydreams. Often I start with scenarios that I would like to see played out or creatures I would like to see come to life. Then I develop the human story through that world and go from there. Really, my passion is getting to tell stories and that's what drives me.

I just finished "Feast" which is book two of the "Hunger Series." I also now have a progress bar on my home page that shows where I am with each of my upcoming projects. It's at www.BewareOfMonsters.com .

Just keep writing and write what you love. When I started I got a lot out of Stephen King's "On Writing." I also recently put together a blog post about how writing works for me. http://bewareofmonsters.com/the-secre...

Getting to see my daydreams take form and become a reality for others.

Thank you so much. Milos Vesely is one of my favorites as well. I really can't say a lot about him right now, but you will see him again very soon. Have you kept up with Project Nemesis?
Jeremy Robinson
Thank you so much. Wow, all of them! That is quite the compliment. I have put a sidebar on my home page that tells you where I am with all of my upcoming books. It's at www.BewareOfMonsters.com .

"Empire" and "Centurion" are both in the works. I just put up a sidebar on my homepage that tells you where all my upcoming books are in their development. www.BewareOfMonsters.com
If all goes according to plan, you should be seeing some new stuff from the Chess team this year!
