Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off #4: The Last Five Fall

To each their own, […]
Rise of the Seer by Brandon Barr
Completed while the author was undergoing chemotherapy for leukemia, Brandon Barr’s Rise of the Seer captures the essence of holding onto hope when things seem dark. It’s part Game of Thrones with the political wrangling, backstabbing, and hidden conspiracies; but also part NeverEnding Story in that the main characters are driven by faith and a […]

Edinburgh Seer by Alisha Klapheke

Having heard amazing things about Alisha Klapheke’s Uncommon World series, I decided to check out her Edinburgh Seer for two reasons: one, it was the only one of her works available on audiobook; and two, it didn’t occur to me that the story wasn’t epic fantasy. […]

David Dalglish Interview – Soulkeeper
David Dalglish is a hybrid writer of classic tales of orcs, elves, and dwarves. He started in self-publishing back in the early days of Kindle and has since had books published through Orbit Books and 47North. But who better to tell us his tale, than the author himself?

James Jakins – Author Spotlight
I discovered James Jakins and his work when I read an article about last year’s Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (SPFBO). I’m always on the lookout for great indie and self-published authors to add to my massive TBR mountain. In this case, one book caught my attention above all. I know they say you should never judge […]

Sufficiently Advanced Magic by Andrew Rowe
Ferris Bueller Goes to Hogwarts: the Video Game. Though both have left tire tracks over my books in the charts and competitions, I can’t decide whether I hold a deeper grudge against Jonathan French’s Grey Bastards or Andrew Rowe’s Sufficiently Advanced Magic. For whatever reason, Amazon classifies LitRPG as Asian Myths and Legends, and as […]
