Briana Hernandez, Author of The Masterpiece Swords
What have you written so far? So far, the only thing I have published is The Masterpiece Swords: Bright Strength. However, I do already have an unpublished sequel ready to go, and I’m wrapping up the third book in the trilogy that I’ll hopefully finish over the summer. I have a few ideas for a…

Ed Ireland, Author of The Last Ranger of Sarn
What is the biggest thing that people THINK they know about your subject/genre that isn’t so? The biggest fallacy in any genre is that it’s limited to the classification it’s under.

Chad Descoteaux, Author of Working-Class Superheroes
Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre? I’ve always felt that science fiction has the potential to say a lot without sounding preachy.

Interview with Assaph Mehr, Author of Murder In Absentia
When and why did you begin writing? I started to write only recently. I had my nose in a book since I was a child, and whilst seeing my name in print was on my bucket-list, I never thought to actually go and do something about it. I had the idea for a fantasy detective…

A.L. Butcher, Author of The Kitchen Imps and Other Dark Tales
Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre? I write what I enjoy reading. I love fantasy and mythic tales, and I’ve written adventures for several role-playing games (fantasy, sci-fi, and horror), and so it was not a big step to adapt this to the novels. Fantasy is such a versatile…
