Page Break Podcast Episode 18.5: RA Salvatore
Welcome to part two of this week’s two-part episode where I chat individually with a pair of co-authors, R.A. Salvatore and Erika Lewis, for the launch week of their new book Color of Dragons!
My second guest is Robert Anthony Salvatore! Bob is a long-time bestselling author of the DemonWars Saga and the creator of the beloved character Drizzt Do’Urden for Forgotten Realms. Most listeners even tangentially aware of epic fantasy will know Bob’s name, and to that end we start by chatting about the nature of fame. We also talk about Bob’s controversial dip into Star Wars, when it’s appropriate to kill a character, and his longstanding relationship with Forgotten Realms.
Page Break with Brian McClellan is a collection of casual conversations between me and fellow creative professionals—like two friends sitting down over lunch to discuss career, craft, family, and hobbies.
Authorhood is a quiet sort of minor fame where the person behind the words is often obscured by the works they’ve created. I aim to use this podcast to find out more about my friends and colleagues.
Look forward to weekly conversations with creators like TV writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi, epic fantasy author Robin Hobb, science fiction author Pierce Brown, Twitch streamer Mark Hulmes, and many more!
