Interview with Amara Lynn

Amara Lynn has always been a quiet daydreamer. Coming up with characters and worlds since childhood, they eventually found an outlet in writing.

They love to write about soft monsters and cryptids, grumpy enbies, and forever will be weak for the grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one trope. When not writing, they are usually watching anime, playing games, and obsessing over their out of control music playlists.

Choosing A Publisher and Why I Am A Hybrid Author
It’s been a long time, probably close to a decade, since I worked with a publisher; however, recently I made the decision to return to working with Changeling Press, a publisher I’d worked with before and enjoyed publishing with.
This episode has me talking about why I chose to work with a publisher, what to look for in a publisher, and why I’m now switching to being a hybrid author. I hope you enjoy!

Interview with Chuck Rothman
About our Guest:
I’ve been writing SF and fantasy since the 1980s, with two novels and over 50 short stories in places including Asimov’s, Fantasy and Science Fiction, Galaxy, and Analog.
I recently received word that my third novel, The Cadaver Princess, will be published by Experimenter Publishing, part of Amazing Stories.
The novel is set in London in 1831. Bodysnatching is common, as people sell them to anatomists at medical schools for teaching purposes. The latest shows up at one Dr. Sheppard, and sits up and talks, claiming to be the heir to t...

AK Nevermore writes Sci-fi & dark romantasy with spice. She enjoys operating heavy machinery, freebases coffee, and gives up sarcasm for Lent every year.

Interview with Frances Billinghurst
From Frances Billinghurst: I am an author, metaphysician, and initiate of a modern Mystery spiritual path with ancient influences residing in the Antipodes, south of the equator.
I have long been drawn to the Mysteries of the cosmos - regardless of how they have appeared through myth and legend, sacred symbolism or in the liminal dreamscape. This has led to the study of various esoteric and occult sciences, with being initiated into a number of traditions that focus around understanding these sacred portals between the worlds.
The books I write are based on my explorations...
Interview with Elen Sentier
About our Guest:
After a quarter of a century of working in corporate managerial and software engineering roles with the Ministry of Defence I knew I had to get out - but I can be very stubborn, and fearful of change.

Eventually, it got so bad I ended up crippled by rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis plus a whole set of add-on autoimmune conditions. I gave up my stubborn resistance and let otherworld to lead me towa...
Interview with Sandra Bond
About our Guest:
When I was eleven, my school held a mock-census. One of the questions — a very obvious question to include — was “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
There were the usual answers you’d expect; soldiers, firefighters, pilots, and the inevitable wit who put “A man”. Out of the whole school, over a hundred pupils, only one person put “Novelist”. (Not even “writer”, you’ll note. “Novelist”.)
If you guessed that one person was me — well, you win a no-prize, I suppose.
I bowed to pressure and went off to be a...

Interview with KC Walker #WriteTalkWednesday
KC Walker does her best to avoid meaningful employment. This often conflicts with her desire for the finer things in life, such as food and shelter. Writing novels seemed to be an acceptable compromise, since making up stories can hardly be called work.
One day, KC took a look at her rescue dog Kit and thought, “Why isn’t this freeloader contributing to the household coffers?” Soon, the idea of a snarky yet (hopefully) lovable stuntwoman named Whit and her tiny demon dog came to mind and the first story began to form.
