Author Assaph Mehr (represented by their character, Felix the Fox) hosts The Protagonist Speaks, where characters are interviewed in-world. It was a lot of fun to write and actually meant that I spent a lot of time getting more in-depth with Smythe’s history, something that will definitely show up in later books. It has all the long-winded, completely unself-aware chatter of Smythe with the added juiciness of some tidbits never seen before in-story.
Please do have a read, and be sure to check out the many other character interviews on The Protagonist Speaks!
