I’m beyond thrilled to be joining Tui T. Sutherland on this journey, adapting her fantastic WINGS OF FIRE novels as a television event series for @PrimeVideo.

Pyrrhia is a realm of wonder, epic drama and hope for a better tomorrow.

I can’t wait for you to see it take flight.

Staggering to learn that if you count all of Lovecraft’s favorite words, “eldritch” is used half as much as “cyclopean”…

… and neither clear the top 100.

@Darkfearik_NW Indeed! In Indiana, this sandwich is called a “pork tenderloin” for some reason.

Just stumbled across this impressive whopper of a run-on sentence in Cormac McCarthy’s “Blood Meridian.”

In college, I studied under Peter Bondanella — one of the world’s foremost scholars on Machiavelli and Fellini.

Since he knew him personally, I once asked him what Fellini was like.

“Just a man,” Peter said with a shrug.

Now that I work in Hollywood, I get what he meant.

@Noehaddock Warrior Cats and Wings of Fire, what a dream

When I visited Drumnadrochit on the shores of Loch Ness, all of the locals seemed to hate being associated with the Loch Ness Monster.

The City Visitor Center was completely devoid of monsters or merch.

Only the for profit “Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition” down the road had any.

@therealKripke @TheBoysTV Any chance you could share the rest?

I love documents like these, especially when I’m helping young writers find their own voices and how to structure these things.

[Aaron J. Waltke @GoodAaron]

For the folks who spend time on other social media as well as this one — a reminder you can find me everywhere!

[Aaron J. Waltke @GoodAaron]

@MerlinIsland @WingsOfFireNews Whoa! I love it!

Wings of Fire.

If you could spend summer in any TV show universe, where would you go?

[Aaron J. Waltke @GoodAaron]

@MerlinIsland @WingsOfFireNews Totally open to creativity!

[Aaron J. Waltke @GoodAaron]

@thespringtrapg1 I don’t know if I have a favorite, they’re all great in their own ways. But as I’ve said elsewhere, I relate most to Clay and Starflight!

[Aaron J. Waltke @GoodAaron]

@WingsOfFireNews @MerlinIsland I’ve told Tui many times that I feel like I’m halfway between Clay and Starflight — so I suppose a MudWing / NightWing?

[Aaron J. Waltke @GoodAaron]

@MerlinIsland If I answer, will someone draw my dragon counterpart?

@duckspeakeasy You aren’t wrong.

Whether you agree with his (self-admittedly) cantankerous opinions, Harlan Ellison was truly a force to be reckoned with.

I think about this interview often — especially when young writers ask me how to make a living as one.

@Hochstaple25493 Many people agree with you!
