When I write, I follow my characters wherever they lead me, on journeys through fantastical places surprisingly similar to times and places in our past. Except there's magic.The Arts Reborn series (I: Brush With Darkness, II: Blood of the Water, II.V novella and III coming soon) goes to a place that isn't Rome in the time of the Republic.I'd love to connect with you at www.jamiemaltman.comor you hear me talk weekly about what I'm reading at www.tbrpodcast.comWhen I'm not writing or reading, I'm at home in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, spending time with my wife and two young boys, which generally involves playing some kind of board or computer games. Or reading. Or traveling. Otherwise I'm probably reading or watching my Toronto Raptors play basketball. Yes, they're mine. And yes, I stubbornly refused to write this in the 3rd person.
