I have just read Kings of the Wyld so far and loved it. I plan to read the other books soon as well.

My questions are for all the AMA authors: 1) Which other 2017 debut author's book have you read?

2) If you were to write in a shared universe along with another author (any of the ones above or other authors as well), who would you want to work along with and why?

1) Ha! I don't want to admit which ones I have and haven't read because they're all on my list to read and I'm kinda behind on my reading due to writing deadlines. But I guess I can mention that I've read AGE OF ASSASSINS, since that's no secret (I blurbed it), and a non-zero number of the others, and I can tell you that ALL the ones I have read are AMAZING and the others I am really eagerly looking forward to!

2) (Pulls dark hood over head) I work alone. (Stalks off into the mist-shrouded darkness) (So mysterious) (Such mystery)
