I am really excited to hear about you and your creative processes.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Warren: First of all, would you please tell us a little about your background and your interests; only as much as you feel comfortable telling? Things such as pets, hobbies, your education, and anything else we might find interesting.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bey: Hm. Let\u2019s see. I\u2019m originally French Canadian, but you\u2019d never know that my first language is French from hearing me talk. Was fully assimilated by the anglos when I moved to Montr\u00e9al as a kid.<br \/>\nI have a dog named Murphy. He\u2019s what most would consider a pit bull\u2014a muscle-y, short-haired, blocky-headed little guy. He\u2019s my best bud and is almost always by my side. Murph\u2019s a real charmer; everyone loves him.<br \/>\nAs for education, well, I have a bachelor\u2019s in Fuck-All (BFA in Art History and part of a degree in Anthropology). I was intending on going back and doing a master\u2019s in Archaeology, but then I somehow wound up in the software industry and was a corporate drone and manager at a big company for over a decade.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ggr-review.com\/sacrificed-heart-beyond-the-spires-baals-heart-2-review-author-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read the rest of the interview at GGR-Review.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warren says: &#8220;The second in the Baal\u2019s Heart series is a terrific continuance of the Caged story.
