On November 6th, I made my television debut on CBS’s Good Morning Sacramento! Under my literary world moniker of RD Pires, I had the fantastic opportunity to discuss my high fantasy novel, Design of Darkness, the first installment in my four-part series titled The Tides That Reign.
During the interview, I shared insights into the immersive world I crafted for the series, filled with complex characters, political intrigue, and tyrannical kings. Design of Darkness follows a diverse cast of heroes navigating a realm on the brink of chaos as dark powers gain traction. I had a great time sharing my passion for storytelling and chatting about blending themes of power and redemption that will hopefully resonate with readers.
Balancing my engineering career performing residual stress analyses with my creative side penning fiction is a rewarding challenge that keeps my brain feeling exersized! I can’t imagine one without the other. The incredible reviews already garnered by Design of Darkness have been overwhelming, and being asked to appear on the show was the cherry on top of a fantastic book release. Thank you to everyone at Good Morning Sacramento for reaching out and for the invitation.
