With Shadow Of The Smoking Mountain (hardcover, Kindle), author Howard Andrew Jones has reached the half-way point of his five book sword & sorcery / sword & sandal fantasy series The Chronicles Of Hanuvar.
In the following email interview, Jones discusses what inspired and influenced this third book, as well as where things stand for books four and five.
Usually, warrior women of the Norse variety are confined to fighting their battles in their native land, and their native times.
But sometimes, they get to travel. And not just to different places, either.
It’s what Myrgiol The Dokkrsdottir is getting to do in her second adventure, Rune Of Renewal (paperback, Kindle), a sword & sorcery fantasy novel by Bjorn Leesson, and the sequel to Runes Of The Dokkrsdottir.
In the following email interview, Leesson discusses what inspired and influenced both this series and this sequel, as well as his planes, sorry plans for more adventures.
They say that the third time is the charm.
But whether or not that will be true for the adventurous duo of Indrajit Twang and Fix remains to be seen. Well, until you read their new novel all the way to the end, that is.
In the following email interview, author D.J. Butler discusses that new novel, Among The Gray Lords (hardcover, Kindle), the newest sword & sorcery adventure in his Tales Of Indrajit & Fix series.
As any writer who’s done it will tell you, it’s a challenge to tell a new story about a popular character. But in the following email interview about Descent: Dreams Of Fire (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), his second novel based on the dungeon-crawling board game Descent: Legends Of The Dark, Davide Mana talks about how eager he was to get to tell Vaerix what to do.
When you write a story about a hero named Hanuvar, and set it in the ancient past, you might as well just give him an elephant and a map to the Alps as well.
But I didn’t say stop. Especially not after doing the following email interview with writer Howard Andrew Jones about his sword & sorcery fantasy novel Lord Of A Shattered Land (paperback, hardcover, Kindle), the first installment of a five book series called The Chronicles Of Hanuvar.
In it, he not only discusses what inspired and influenced this epic tale, but also why you won’t have to wait long for the next installment.
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. Which, all together, form a sequel to The Thief-Taker’s Apprentice series, and a prequel of sorts to his novel Dragon Queen, which was the first book of his Silver Kings series, itself part of his Memory Of Flames series. (Whew!)
In the following email interview, Deas explains what inspired and influenced Moon, including how he knew how it ended before he even started writing Moonsteel.
