With his new sword & sorcery fantasy novel Herald Of The Black Moon (paperback, Kindle), writer Stephen Deas is concluding the Dominion trilogy he launched in 2021 with The Moonsteel Crown and continued in 2022’s The House Of Cats And Gulls.

Exclusive Interview: “The Warden” Author Daniel M. Ford

 

In novels where a crime is committed in a fantasy realm, the person investigating said crime is often a magic user with a bit of noir to their name. And while that’s also the case with Daniel M. Ford’s adventure fantasy novel The Warden (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook), he’s taking a somewhat different approach by having said magic user not be a witch or wizard but a necromancer, and not be very noir, either. In the following email interview, Ford discusses what influenced and inspired this magical mystery.

Exclusive Interview: “Wraithbound” Author Tim Akers
