Author Bio: I was raised in Kent, the garden of England, and lived in an Oast House whose round rooms were once used for drying hops. Must be why I’ve enjoyed a drink ever since! At university, I fell in love with medieval French writing, discovered The Gormenghast Trilogy, and became hooked on fantasy. I have sailed down the Yangste, survived an earthquake in Cairo, and picnicked in the Serengeti. My travels for work and pleasure have inspired my fantasy world. I now live in France with … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Paddy Tyrrell
Interview with Author – Mike Shelton
Author Bio: Mike was born in California and has lived in multiple states from the west coast to the east coast. He cannot remember a time when he wasn't reading a book.

Other than reading, Mike enjoys the outdoors, hiking, and spending time with his family. He has worked in corporate finance for most of his career, publishing his first books in … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Mike Shelton

Interview with Author – Judith Pratt
Author Bio: I’ve been an actor, a director, a theatre professor, and a freelance writer. I’ve studied playwriting, theatre history, and how to teach actors. My plays have been produced in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Kansas City MO, and (I love this!) Cape Town, South Africa. Then a character in one of my plays had a new story to tell—a story that would never fit on a stage. So I wrote a novel, The Dry Country. That was so much fun that I wrote another novel, Siljeea Magic, and got it … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Judith Pratt

Interview with Author – S.J. Hartland
Author Bio: I'm an Australian journalist who grew up in tropical north Queensland. It's cyclone-territory, pretty laid-back and if you're wearing thongs you're overdressed. In comparison, I now call the Darling Downs home. It's high up and cold, which is tricky for a north Queenslander who thinks the next ice age is upon us when it drops below 30 degrees Celsius. I'm also a fencer, which is useful for all those sword fights in epic fantasy. Can you have two many sword fights? Never. The … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – S.J. Hartland
Interview with Author – Nathan Ayersman
Author Bio: Born in the flat rural terrain of the Eastern Shore of Virginia, I occupied my mind with the escapism of fantasy novels to explore the worlds created by Robert Jordan, Brian Jacques, and Christopher Paolini. Eventually, the image of a sword with a hilt in the shape of a dragon's mouth came to me and inspired me to write what would eventually become the Ancient's Armor series. The first book "The Dragon's Rising" took several years to write while also attending veterinary school and … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Nathan Ayersman
