Hooray for the author Q&A!

Hello Scott, how are you?  I hope your family is well, mine is ok.  I'm going to be a nurse!

A few questions...

1. I'm real curious about the particular religious background of the brain that came up with Earwa.  My own upbringing as a Calvinist has had an effect on just a whole lot of my life and I get the impression that you've got a story to tell about all this.

2. Why do you identiy yourself with Cujara Cinmoi?  I think of you as Akka.  I think of myself as Big Penis Man.

3. Why haven't the Consult attempted to recruit sorcerers from the three seas?

4. Is there a black market for fake chorae?

Thanks for coming out of your hermit cave for us!  We sure do like your stories.  I have X amount of time before I hit the grave and I do enjoy spending Y portion of X reading, rereading, and thinking about your Earwa.  I also like ice cream, bunnies, and rollerblading but this is not a forum for any of that stuff, so I'll say no more.

A Nonman Quya on the slog, how about that!
Mr. Bakker....... NO FIBBING ON THE SLOG!!!

1. My first of many as they come to me. Is passion what makes Water/Psukhe possible?

2. I would ask about dragon&chorae, but I'm making Sci bring his rump over from the other site. NO SLACKERS ON THE SLOG!!!

Anyway let me get my fanboying out of the way.  I love you're writing. And I will murder the world to read the ending of TSTSNBN. There, enough gushing.  NO MORE FANBOYING ON THE SLOG!!!!!
“No. I am your end. Before your eyes I will put your seed to the knife. I will quarter your carcass and feed it to the dogs. Your bones I will grind to dust and cast to the winds. I will strike down those who speak your name or the name of your fathers, until ‘Yursalka’ becomes as meaningless as infant babble. I will blot you out, hunt down your every trace! The track of your life has come to me,

I was raised in a troubled household split between my father, who hated religion, and my mother, who was an evangelical Christian. We *argued* at my dinner table - argued a lot. I had a conversion moment which I still remember distinctly, weeping, FEELING Jesus enter my heart, before becoming a teenager. Then I had another conversion moment, equally emotional, when I was fourteen, when I finally understood why that feeling had to be a lie.

... and my mother, who was an evangelical Christian.

Bullseye.  I knew only a Protestant could have come up with something as Bibliolatrous as the Tusk.
What is reason, but the blindness of the soul?

R. SCOTT RAP3ZT TERRIBLEZ LOLZ.
