I'm Tom Crepeau. In 2019, I'm turning 68. I've written for as long as I can remember. In September, 2018, David sent me a scene and three months later we'd written an interesting first draft. Now, in September about a year after we began, that draft has grown two new characters, at least; is told in the first person, including the first person we see in the book--who dies just before the end of the scene. There are horror elements in our book. You probably can easily deduce I often write fantasy. I live in Virginia, and have been happily married to my darling wife Laura for over 15 years. This is the first work of fiction David or I have published (and we're working hard on the sequel.) You can find me at TomCrepeau.com, where I've started a blog. Our book has interwoven the viewpoints of lots of people to cover the different places where events take place in our book. The many narrators create a different style from what you've read before. We like the way different people see the same things. It wasn't easy deciding which scenes should be told from which points of view. David and I are avid players and gamemasters of roleplaying games. When I met David, i had designed a roleplaying game of my own, and my campaigns were set in a Virginia and an Avalon that are similar and different to what we put in the book. There's a real tendency in my game for a player's characters to die, sometimes in quick succession. That probably influences the book substantially. H.P. Lovecraft came up with some wonderful storytelling concepts we've felt free to borrow; in our story world, he may have had glimpses of some of these creatures, or at least their footprints. His writing, like his life, left a lot to be desired. But a large number of writers like to borrow a concept from him here or there as they create the monsters of modern fantasy. I hope you enjoy David and myself's book (which, hopefully, will turn into books), as well as the books each of us, even now, are already plotting.
