I just was hoping that we could create a story that would be compelling, and create characters that people enjoy watching. That we could tell a good story.

How did you and Chris Golden come to work together as writers?

Chris actually approached me about doing a Tara and Willow comic for Dark Horse, and we ended up doing three of them. Chris is a doll - he's a lot of fun to work with.

Has it been difficult co-writing this - something that's on a much bigger scale than a comic?

I realised that we had our work cut out for us, there was so much to do. Instead of a small comic [where] you had a couple of lines of dialogue here and there, you really had to focus on character and create people that were compelling. [Characters] that people enjoyed watching, that were funny, that were human, that were dramatic, that had arcs.

I think that was what was really tough for Chris and I was to create a handful of characters that were not just flat two-dimensional people, they would be real people as well. We worked really hard to bring it to this level.

How have you found working on an audio drama?

It's a lot like theatre. So, coming from a theatre background I realised we had to focus on getting good performances. There's so much to worry about that I realised you had to let it all go and just focus on the actors. Half of that is in the casting, and we've put together a really amazing cast.
