    Author Interview – Linda Ling

    February 27, 2023 / 0 Comments

    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…

    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.

    Author Interview – Andrew Claydon

    December 3, 2022 / 0 Comments

    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…

    Author Interview – JR Handley

    November 8, 2022 / 0 Comments

    A while back, I was lucky enough to be interviewed by JR Handley, and now we’re in an anthology together (check out Slay Bells Ring now!), I thought I’d return the favour and introduce you all to this awesome author. So, JR, tell us about yourself.So, who am I? This is the existential question that my years of college prepared me for! That whole semester of that Philosophy 101 Class gives me insight here. Ittells me that this question is everything and nothing, all at the same time. The Schrodinger’s Question of interviews.So, who am I? I am a father and a son. I am a soldier because that is…

    Bedsocks & Broomsticks – Chapter 1

    October 18, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Read on for a sneak peek at Chapter 1 of my new release Bedsocks and Broomsticks (out on 31 October!). This is a cosy, witchy urban fantasy with a touch of mystery, set in the Cotswolds. Think Murder She Wrote meets Jam & Jerusalem meets magic…now read on: “Have you tried turning it off and then on again?” Fi kept her face neutral as she watched the young man in a suit through the video chat. “Of course I have!” “Right, OK, let me have a look,” her tone was blank, but she didn’t believe him. Her power flickered under her skin. She forced it down. Her shift was nearly…

    This month, I caught up with author Winnie Winkle to talk about the inspiration for her books and chat about her series. Winnie, tell us a bit about yourself. First and foremost, I’m a water baby. Which, as a Pisces living on a boat in Florida, helps. I grew up in the US MidWest on and around lakes, but once I moved to Florida thirty some years ago, I knew the sea was my element. In my tiny condo in Daytona Beach Shores, I’m a horizon junkie, in love with the thin line between now and next. On the boat, we’re anchored seven miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico…

    So, Heather, I know you from a UK writers group we’re part of, but for those who don’t know you, tell us about yourself. I am a thirty something mum getting a second chance at life. I was a lawyer. That was great, it helped people but… it was super stressful. And my bosses wouldn’t let me work flexible hours or pick up my kids from school, which sucked. Writing became my retreat during the pandemic. I hit publish and a year later I’m incredibly lucky that it is now my actual job. It’s a weird job, you basically invite people to have a snoop around in your mind. So…
