In addition to his own work, he’s written tie-in fiction for both the Walking Dead and Cassandra Claire’s Mortal Instruments. Wes and Brian have been friends since their debut novels came out in the same month back in 2013, and they dive right in to talk about their respective careers and lurking professional anxieties. They also cover tie-in writing, intellectual property, and the holy grail of novel writing: the coveted TV and film deals.
