#Dreams of Fire

Thanks, Darby

A new review of my novel Dreams of Fire was posted on Amazon. I was initially confused by the mention of Darby – hawing one time been introduced as Daniele Menna instead of Davide Mana (I’ll have to tell you that story one day), I tend to be paranoid about names. But it turns out Darby is the narrator of the audiobook version of my novel – and so I owe them a big thank you, for contributing to…

Billy Joel (as he appeared in the music video) forced me to sing the entirety of We Didn’t Start the Fire from memory or else he’d beat me to death.

My novel Dreams of Fire will finally be available outside the US, and as a result I received a box with my author copies.So I thought, why not do what all popular writers do online, and post a photo?So here it is.

ppl who genuinely think that jon should just be a king-consort who doesnt interfere with politics and just lets his wife do all the dirty work should consider themselves opps bc were not reading the same books im sorry to say. ppl r so obsessed with making jon out to be some ambitionless wifeguy and a lapdog and thats literally so annoying bc thats a completely different guy!!! ur making up a guy in ur brain!!!! he joins the nights watch bc hes ambitious bc thats the one place where bastards may rise high hes daydreamed and pretended to be the lord of winterfell as a child hes been groomed by joer mormont FOR leadership and IS a leader now and when stannis offers jon winterfell and val he WANTS it he wants it so bad but refuses it to lead the nights watch. if u dont want that then u dont want jon idk what to tell u
