We welcome our first returning guest, Richard Parkinson. No longer an editor for The Essex Voice, Richard is now an author (or as he puts it "a story teller"). Richard describes his first book, The Call: Book One of The Book of West Marque as a Westeren Victorian fantasy with hints of magic. A tale about law men, princesses, priests, and demons. I sat down with Richard a couple of weeks before the book was released and talked about his process for creating such a large story, editing, publishing, and what writing means to him.
