Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
When I was six years old I hid in the bathroom in the early morning to read, afraid that if I turned the lights on elsewhere it would wake up my parents. Now I write in the bathtub, still afraid. But humor helps, and so I spend my days looking for open mic nights as a stand-up. Three books, one of them good.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
So Many Thrones: A Parody of Game of Thrones. The name was inspired by the book being a parody of Game of Thrones. The book itself was inspired by boredom and an irrepressible affection for George R. R. Martin’s prose.
