Brown, the author of the fantasy novels Feast of Fates and Feast of Dreams (part of the Four Feasts Till Darkness series), stops by to discuss building an epic fantasy world, writing smart and self-sufficient female characters who don’t need saving, and how tragedy can help us focus on what’s really important in our lives.
