Stygian Dogs | Part 4 of 6 - ‘Conan’s Compatriots: Steve Saffel and Brian D. Anderson’ - The Movie and Solomon Kane @StygianDogs | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
In this, Part 4 of a conversation with ‘Conan’s Compatriots’ Steve Saffel and Brian D. Anderson, we spend a lot of time talking about the ‘Conan the Barbarian’ film, the Heroic Legends Series and dealing with editing notes from Heroic Signatures. Steve discusses Michael Moorcock’s notion of the ‘Eternal Champion’ and the topic of conversation moves on to Solomon Kane. I think you’ll enjoy this one!
________________
I’m very excited to share something new with all of you. Brian D. Anderson, author of ‘The Godling Chronicles’, ‘The Sorcerer’s Song’ trilogy (‘The Bard’s Blade’, ‘A Chorus of Fire’ and ‘The Swords Elegy’), the co-writer of the Akiri series (with Steven Savile) and author of the forthcoming ‘Conan: The Child’ from Titan Books (releasing December 26th) reached out to me and said, “Hey, why don’t we have a chat with Steve Saffel. He’s got lots of great stories.”
Umm…sign me up!
Steve Saffel is a writer, legendary editor and mentor with years of knowledge and experience. As you’ll hear, he spearheaded the Robert E. Howard publishing program at Del Ray Books and - prior to moving freelance to mentor independent authors - he was senior acquisitions editor with Titan Books working with Heroic Signatures on the Howard properties, including S.M. Stirling’s ‘The Blood of the Serpent’ and the Heroic Legends short stories currently seeing monthly release from Titan Books.
In a wide-ranging and free-wheeling conversation lasting over two-hours, Brian and Steve talk about all things Conan, Robert E. Howard, writing, editing, and publishing, with so many personal anecdotes and the wisdom that only years of experience can grant.
And, well, when you’re a guy like me - in this situation…you’re best to just sit back and listen. And I’ll extend that opportunity to all of you as I present that complete conversation in a series of 6 shorter episodes.
So join me as we listen in on Part 4 of a conversation with ‘Conan’s Compatriots’ Steve Saffel and Brian D. Anderson.
