He frequently has served to cut tension, add ridiculousness to scenes that makes the still fantastical actions of Frank's minions seem reasonable. There have been a lot of characters in fantasy and 80's cartoons (snarf) that meet some of Frank's main features.

And there is nothing more important than Frank. Since I haven't started gilded ghost I'll stick to more thematic things. Some other influences are Archeage, Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst, Lineage II, Wildstar, Civilization, BDO, Skyrim, the list goes on.īut yeah, ask away, and thanks again to the mods for having me on!īut onto an actual question. I’m hopelessly hooked on Elden Ring at the moment and absolutely loving it but damn I have fallen off so many cliffs and the consecrated snowfield makes me want to put my controller through my tv. I wrote pretty much the entire time on the side and finished and trunked six novels before I wrote Shadeslinger, which published about a year and a half ago and I’ve been writing full time ever since!Īs for gaming since I’m in Litrpg, WoW is definitely my biggest influence and I’ve played it on and off since closed beta as a raider as well as an arena junky. I ended up getting a job as a snowboarding instructor after I graduated, so for the next ten or so years I bounced from the rockies to the east coast, teaching lessons and eventually becoming the head instructor trainer at Big Sky Resort out in Montana while working some seriously weird jobs during the summer including but not limited to: hosting wine tastings where I pretended to know literally anything about wine (I didn’t), climbing trees professionally (with a chainsaw), and managing a super isolated, rural ranch at 9,000 feet out in the San Juans. I was an English major in college, which in my case meant I skipped a lot of classes to snowboard and play WoW (the latter of which in particular was actually a shockingly good decision in hindsight). Plot summaries for the previous books can also be found over at r/Shadeslinger!
