This is my interview with grimdark fantasy writer, Holly Tinsley.
We talk about the kind of books she read as a child which had a clear and obvious impact on her. We talk about teachers and their expectations for her in school, the fantasy books she read when she was a bit older, first attempts at writing and the moment when she knew she wanted to be a writer. We talk about her other fantasy novels and her choice to become a self published fantasy author.
Her debut novel, We Men of Ash and Shadow, is a gaslamp grimdark fantasy. It is a SPFBO7 Finalist and we talk about what SPFBO is (Self Published Fantasy Blog Off) and where it came from, what it was designed to do and how it has helped many self published fantasy authors gain prominence.
You can buy signed SFF books from The Broken Binding and if you use the code STEVENARYAN207 you will get a discount.
