I'm featured in OOTP's blog

#1 Post by Mike Dunn »

Spurred by the Kindle Scout campaign for my novel, OOTP's blog posted an interview with me on how a fictional solo league grew into the book.

Several PEBA shoutouts!

Mike, that is awesome! And though I've seen it before, I must say how I love the map of Setheridge! You also got a chuckle from me with the reminder of the "We Don't Suck!" article. :D

That is very cool. I still remember reading some of your OOTP forum posts on your created world back before I ever joined the PEBA. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy of the book!

That is great! I remember poring over your map of Setheridge when you first showed it to us. I'm so pleased that it has grown into something as fantastic as this! :clap:

Well done :clap:

I often felt I could do something like that, as a kid I had great imagination and was always drawing (badly :D ) new gadgets, maps and machines. I still get a yearning for this but I just don't have the attention span for such a project. It has indeed turned out to be the story of my life, I launch myself fully into projects with great hopes but within a month I've completely lost interest or just can't be bothered any more. I'm very pleased that I've managed to keep my PEBA membership this long although I have to get writing like mad next week before the GB swings it's axe on my neck.
