  Interview with Dusten J. Munden Hello, I'm Deston J. Munden, author of the Dargath Chronicles and Dusk Mountain Blues series. I'm from the rural areas of North Carolina and I have a major in Game Art and Design. It's a pleasure to meet you!  Please tell me a little about your current work in progress. Undergrove is the third book of the Dargath Chronicles, continuing stories that both Tavern and Duke’s Brand left off. It’s more of a Dungeons and Dragons adventure in comparison to the other two books of the series, taking inspiration for campaigns that I’m currently in. There are huge fantasy inspirations that are coming through in this book that I’m proud of. There’s plenty of returning characters from the previous two books as well as new characters such an elven barbarian, a sky dwarf bard, and a dragon alchemist.  Keep an out for any news involving this new book. Where did you get the idea for this book or series? It’s hard to say where exactly I get my ideas from. I...

 Interview with JMD Reid Author of  Above the Storm  and more Please tell me a little about your current work in progress. I’m working on What Masks Hide, a five book fantasy series that’s set in my Jewel Machine Universe. It’s a companion series to Secret of the Jewels, running parallel to it with some minor connective tissues. They compliment each other but neither is necessary to understand the other. What Mask Hides follows Lady Foonauri, a young noblewoman who has become disaffected by her pursuit of powerful men. It has led to two men she loved being destroyed and her living far from her home. She is approached by the enigmatic Onyx and is offered to join a group of thieves called the Cracked Gems who broke the rules to save the world one small crime at a time. Will she find meaning taking control of her life?     Where did you get the idea for this book or series?   Like Secret of the Jewels, What Mask Hides comes out of a short story I wrote called ...

 Interview with E.G. Stone Author of The Wing Cycle Trilogy The Speaker of Words and the upcoming On Behalf of Death Series Please tell me a little about your current work in progress.              My current work in progress is the fourth book in my upcoming On Behalf of Death series. This series is somewhere between an urban fantasy, comedy and, well, causing trouble. Essentially, my main character, Cal Thorpe, is hired by Death to be his marketing and public relations specialist. Each book involves a separate episode of Cal’s adventures while working for Death.             The first book, The Innocence of Death, involves solving a murder that Death didn’t commit. The second, Knowledge Aforethought, has Cal dragged back to 1494 by Time to deal with Life and Death’s relationship at the start. The third, A Party of Certainties, involves a favour for the Taxman and a not...

Interview with A.F. Stewart Author of  Eternal Myths   Visions and Nightmares   and more   Please tell me a little about your current work in progress. It’s a series based on Arthurian legends, called The Camelot Immortals , with the premise that the witches and wizards of Camelot are indeed immortal and still alive in modern day England. The books mainly focus on the women of the legends: Morgan le Fay, the Lady of the Lake (named Vivienne in my series), Iseult, and the protagonist, Nimue. The plot revolves around Nimue, as she gets pulled unwillingly into a destiny she doesn’t want. And while it is a contemporary fantasy, there are many legendary and epic fantasy elements as the characters visit worlds other than the mortal one. Where did you get the idea for this book or series? It was, of course, inspired by the legends of King Arthur, but the original idea started back in 2007 when I wrote a short story called Legendary Debts. It evolve...
