Epic fantasy author Bradley P. Beaulieu talks about his latest novel, A Desert Torn Asunder, the conclusion of his “Song of the Shattered Sands” saga.

Brad talks about how his interest in gaming led to meeting well-known fantasy & science fiction authors at conventions (starting with GenCon), taking writing seminars before diving into writing his own stories. He also goes into the reasons why he chose the desert setting and customs and technologies designed for desert dwellers and commerce, taking his time developing the supporting characters, and more.
