Hello everyone and welcome to our first guest post for the 7th annual Self Published Fantasy Blog Off! I have been working on reaching out to each of the authors who have landed in our batch of books for the competition to see if they would be interested in being interviewed or contributing a guest article in an attempt to drum up a little extra excitement for their book and (hopefully) get to know them a bit better. Jeffrey L. Kohanek joins us today to talk a bit about his love for the lovable rogues character archetype!
