Urban Fantasy books
Rise of Dragons series It’s Bridget Jones meets Lord of the Rings and doesn’t take itself too seriously! The series follows Amethyst, a half-dwarf jeweller and weaponsmith, as she deals with kidnappings, crazy cults and dragons. Omensford series This is a cosy urban fantasy series with a dash of murder mystery – think Jessica Fletcher if she worked in IT, lived in an English village and had magic!

Author Interview – E. L. Williams
This month I caught up with E.L. Williams about her books and her inspiration as she celebrates the new covers for her urban fantasy, dystopian series. So, E.L. Williams, for those who don’t know you, tell us a bit about yourself? I’m Emma and I write witchy, magical fiction. I published my debut novel, The First Ethereal in 2020 and the sequel, The Blessing of Crows, in 2022. I’ve just finished a novella called, The Magic Keepers which jumped the queue and made me put book three on hold. I grew up in Wales, but I now live in Berkshire with my husband and, in his opinion anyway, an unhealthy…

I know you from an author group we’re both part of, but for anyone who doesn’t know you, tell us a bit about yourself I’d love to, but then I’d have to kill you. IN MY BOOK. By making you a character in my book. Then killing you horribly. [GC: backs away slowly] I’m a lovely, sociable person other than that, though. Please stop backing away. Due to having somehow won the favour of Lady Luck, though only she knows how (and secretly I suspect it might…

Author Interview – Linda Ling
This month, I caught up with fantasy author Linda Ling. Linda, tell us a bit about yourself and how you became a writer. I’ve always been a writer. As far back as I can remember. As a kid, whenever we traveled, my dad would make me write a “post-vacation report” for him to read (I should ask him about that someday). But my first story was written when I was 14. My first poem when I was 15 or 16. I wrote three or four complete books by the time I was 22 or 23. But life happened and I took a pause. A very long pause. I locked up…

Author Interview – Andrew Claydon
This month, I caught up with fellow Brit fantasy author Andrew Claydon to chat about how he started writing and favourite authors. His latest book, Strange Companions, is out on 5 December and if you like reluctant heroes, irreverant fantasy references and chickens, I recommend you check it out. So, Andrew, tell us about yourself. That’s a toughie, because I can come up with all kinds of stories and characters, but ask me to talk about myself and I draw a blank. I suppose the first thing to know about me is that I’m a guy living his best life being an author. I’ve always thought I had one book…
