Matt Wallace is a writer playing in many ponds, so fantasy author, screenwriter, game writer and podcaster don’t entirely cover all the places he writes stories for, but his new epic fantasy novel Savage Legion is at long last coming to shelves.

Matt talks about his writing journey, the editing & publishing journey Savage Legion has been on for the past few years, how his experience as a pro wrestler influences his story crafting, the collaborative approach to writing for video games, and much more.

Savage Legion is out July 21 from Saga Press.
