Page Break Podcast Episode 56: Robison Wells

The fifty sixth episode of my podcast Page Break is now out! In this episode, is New York Times bestselling author and wargame blogger Robison Wells!

Rob is known for his breakout young adult suspense novel Variant and it’s sequel Feedback, as well as a number of other science fiction and fantasy novels. He also co-wrote The Warning with James Patterson, and now runs a popular wargame hobby website, the Wargame Explorer.

Rob and I chat at length about the wargaming industry and its various quirks and foibles. We touch on Rob’s struggle to maintain his writing career with schizophrenia, and how much painting miniatures has helped him maintain and regulate his creative side.


Page Break with Brian McClellan is a collection of casual conversations between me and fellow creative professionals—like two friends sitting down over lunch to discuss career, craft, family, and hobbies.

Authorhood is a quiet sort of minor fame where the person behind the words is often obscured by the works they’ve created. I aim to use this podcast to find out more about my friends and colleagues.

Look forward to weekly conversations with creators like TV writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi, epic fantasy author Robin Hobb, science fiction author Pierce Brown, Twitch streamer Mark Hulmes, and many more!
