I actually published my first story when I was 14 years old.
And it was a bird hunting story about me, you know, killing a chukar partridge, which no one knows about.
But, you know, once I saw my byline for the first time, I was, you know, because I grew up in this, in the shadow of Ernest Hemingway in Ketchum, Idaho.
And I was like, I just like telling stories, you know.
And it was, so I...
I wasn't ever good at anything else.
I ended up being an English major.
So I just followed that path, you know, from the time I was a kid.
Well, and I've really enjoyed listening to you guys make things like human ritual sacrifice and smallpox funny.
You know, that's, you know, because when I'm writing it, I'm thinking, you know, this isn't really comedy.
Yeah.
And when I write these books too, it's always like people are like, you know, why do you focus so much on this, this darkness, all this stuff, you know?
And I'm like, well, I just, I like to see, as you say, you know, different cultures coming together and also what happens to people when they're on the edge of survival.
Like how are they going to contend with
with this new world or this new place.
Um, and it really intrigues me to see what, you know, to what degree people, especially back then, you know, like we're able to figure it out and just, um, and move on, you know?
That's the thing.
Or have slaves.
And by the way, I used to sugarcoat it.
When I was writing it, I would be like, they had 2,000 porters and women who were making tortillas.
