conversations.value: Do you know a description for a book titled The Grey Bastards about Fall, Autumns, Saga with the genre: Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction?
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: the author is the author of the Autumns Fall Saga, an epic fantasy series, and The Grey Bastards, a gritty, stand-alone novel. His debut work, The Exiled Heir, has been hailed as a combination of pen strokes that successfully resurrect the old world fantasy concepts of Beowulf, Prydain, Oz and Masters of the Universe. Like many fantasy novelists, he originally developed his magical setting as a backdrop for the roleplaying games he ran for his friends. After submitting his creations to a once-mighty rpg company, he received an offer to purchase his intellectual property. Ultimately, he chose to keep his brainchildren close to home and began writing the Autumns Fall novels in earnest. Both Autumn's Fall books have become Kindle bestsellers, breaking into the Top 100 on the Epic Fantasy list. An outspoken advocate on the merits and future of independent publishing, Jonathan has led panel discussions at conventions across the Southeast, with subjects ranging from marketing to art direction. He currently lives in Atlanta with his wife and toddling son, who can already throw a mean d10. Current projects include the third Autumns Fall novel, a YA super-heroes series, and occasional freelance gigs for rpgs.

  To Mr. Lawrence, there is no amount of profound thanks I can offer that won't sound feeble or, worse, hyperbolic. But I must try. The SPFBO is a game-changer, for some it will be a life-changer. I firmly believe the contest's positive impact exists only because it is an extension of the open mind and generous heart that invented it. You're a damn fine man, Mark, and if we ever meet in person it's likely to get a touch backy.
  If there is a real-world hoof in my life, it is made up of my test readers. Once again, they rose to the challenge of scrutinizing this story. They earned hoof names this go-round. Thank you, "Shenanigans" Matt, "Grim" Rob, "Left Coast" James, "Doppelwulf" Chael, and Mom (no quotations needed).
  To Angeline Rodriguez at Crown for putting fresh eyes on the story and for likely much else I know nothing about.
  To any and every reader that ever reached out with something positive to say (like Tony D. & Mike E.), your encouragement kept me writing when I wanted to quit.
  To my fellow SPFBO entrants, especially Dyrk Ashton, Phil Tucker, and Josiah Bancroft, thanks for the continued camaraderie and commiseration.

  To the SPFBO judges, with a scraping bow to Ria and a brisk high-five to Laura, much appreciation for taking the time to read and, shockingly, enjoy the grimy tale of these half-orc hog riders.
