It wasn’t something I set out to do when I originally wrote it. What motivated you to write the second book in your series with a queer woman as the protagonist? Right off the bat, I immediately knew I wanted to tell the stories myself. I skipped school for the very first time to play D&D and had this epic odyssey getting home, jumping ditches and dodging cops. I’ve played D&D since my first year of high school. I hope the books capture the spirit of roleplaying with the camaraderie and friendship that can form while playing RPGs with a lot of laughter and drinks.

The main premise of the series is inspired by rock bands, but there are a lot of similarities between bands and RPG groups, namely, getting together with friends to have a good time.

What is it about those systems and stories that inspired to you write these books? The world of Kings of the Wyld and Bloody Rose feel very inspired by D&D and RPGs. Please enjoy this interview with Nicholas Eames: I’m grateful that he took the time to speak with me about the musical influences on his work, how he decided to write a book with a queer female protagonist, and what we can expect from the final book in his trilogy. I'm hoping you all will see trends that I don't and will be able to steer me in the right direction.Nicholas Eames (he/him) is the author of Kings of the Wyld and Bloody Rose, the first two books in the hilarious and heartfelt trilogy The Band. My list is kinda chronological, with newer reads toward the top. I made a list of fantasy books I've read (autocorrect was truly persistent in trying to type those titles) and I'm hoping, if you have time, you could let me know if there are any glaring you haven't read this!? items. I'm always looking forward to perusing the latest Top Novels list.Īnyhow, I've read everything on my Kindle and I'm hoping for some help restocking. I also enjoy all the voted lists that I'm sure take a lot of time and effort to compile. Thanks for all the "YOU HAVE TO READ XYZ BOOK" threads over the years.
