Fantasy Author Lounge

After a little break to launch a book and deal with the occasional complexities of life, I’m back with a new episode of the Fantasy Author Lounge. And who have we got in the Lounge this month? It’s none other than New York Times bestselling author ANTHONY RYAN.

To celebrate the launch of his brand new epic: THE EMPIRE’S RUIN, we’ve got none other than Brian Staveley in the Fantasy Author Lounge this month!

Brian’s the Gemmell and r/Fantasy Stabby award-winning author behind the Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne. Brian was fascinating to speak to, especially regarding inspiration and writing style.

It’s a first for the Fantasy Author Lounge – we’ve got not one but TWO authors in the lounge. Clayton W. Snyder and Michael R. Fletcher have snuck past security and muscled their way in to talk about NORYLSKA GROANS, their new co-authored grim, noir fantasy with a strong, early 1900s Russia vibe.

*trumpet fanfare* Make way for Andrea Stewart! Andrea is this month’s guest on the Fantasy Author Lounge, and she’s here to drop some serious info bombs on:

– The Bone Shard Daughter & Drowning Empire Series
– how inspiration can strike in the form of a chicken bone
– and writing processes

I’m back with another Fantasy Author Lounge!
