Tell me a bit about yourself. Who are you and what do you write? Hi! My name is Zak. I write code for a living and I write stories for fun. It seems I’ve done so much writing in the recent years that I’ve managed to write myself into this interview (thank you for the opportunity!). My pen is most comfortable in science fiction, fantasy, and literary fiction, but there has to be coffee and sun...
Tell me a bit about yourself. Who are you and what do you write? Hi! I’m Claris (she/her), and I’m a Chinese Canadian indie author and poet. I write murder mysteries, fantasy books, and poetry! I also write short stories! What’s your favourite genre? Is it the same as the one you write in? It’s hard for me to choose between mystery, fantasy, and poetry, but I’m leaning towards fantasy being my...
Tell me a bit about yourself. Who are you and what do you write? Hey, I’m Natasha but my mates know me as Tash. I’m a neurodivergent Aussie author of most stripes of speculative fiction (why stop at one genre) with a deep abiding love of all things Discworld. When I’m not writing, you can often find me hanging out with my kiddo and husband watching a show or sports (I’m a sports tragic) or...
Tell me a bit about yourself. Who are you and what do you write? My name is Aaron J Waseskuk and I am the writer, editor, and producer of the SoulBound series. It is a fantasy series with horror elements. It's inspired by Japanese manga and mythology with a western twist. It follows the events of a young woman (Jaelyn) as she discovers magic powers latent within her soul...
Tell me a bit about yourself. Who are you and what do you write? My name is Salem and I'm a queer transmasc living in Northern Nevada. I'm a single parent to some really amazing kids and I love them with everything I have. I've been writing since I could hold a pencil, and these days there isn't a genre I don't have my hands in, though I mostly lean to the fantastical with a dark, real twist...
Tell me a bit about yourself. Who are you and what do you write? Hi, my name is Jenn A. Morales. I’m a lifelong reader of fantasy, digital artist, gamer, dog mom, and goth bisexual black cat wife who hates Gen AI in all it’s forms. I’ve been speaking out against it for years and hate that it’s cropping up everywhere now. I write Urban Fantasy and Paranormal romance set in an alternate universe...
Tell me a bit about yourself. Who are you and what do you write? Oh dear, must I? I’m the most boring person you’ll ever meet. I have no conversation at all. But I do know how to write, and my worlds and characters are much more interesting than me. (I hope). I’m Rari who writes fantasy and sci-fi as Niranjan, Hindu Mythology-based fantasy as Geetha Krishnan, which is my legal name, and every...
Tell me a bit about yourself. Who are you and what do you write? My name is Conrad Altmann. I’m an immigrant living in Romania with my wife and two daughters. My primary career is as a corporate graphic designer, but I’m slowly transitioning to one that focuses more on supporting indie authors, as well as establishing myself as one as well. I generally write science fiction, and while I haven’t...
Tell me a bit about yourself. Who are you and what do you write? I’m Eric Koziol, an English teacher in Japan. I do freelance translation as a side gig, and was translating so much character dialogue that I wanted to take a stab at it myself. I’m currently working on a fantasy isekai series, and in between books I’m writing short stories to keep myself fresh. What’s your favourite genre?
Tell me a bit about yourself. Who are you and what do you write? Howdy, I’m Frankie and autistic author from Detroit. My other creative ventures have been singing, acting, and making animated music videos (AMVs) on YouTube. You can still see those videos under Simmian7. What’s your favourite genre? Is it the same as the one you write in? Urban fantasy. I’m a sucker for vampires...
A poignant and somewhat scarily prescient short story collection from Conrad Altmann. I had the privilege of beta reading one of the short stories—Luminite Ascending—that made it into this collection. That one was brilliant, and at the time I didn’t realise Conrad was looking to make a collection. So when Moral Laundry came out, I was really looking forward to checking out the other stories...
Gotta love long titles for short stories. On Demon Wrangling and Interpersonal Relationships Between Weary Immortals is certainly eye-catching and intriguing, and that’s what got me to pick it up. Also because I have read several of Rebecca’s short stories at this point and knew I was in for a treat. Vampyres and Witches make for strange bedfellows, and especially since I’ve been watching What...
A deliciously creepy yet cathartic dark fairy tale. Rebecca Crunden’s short stories and novellas are always a great time. I expected no different from Bailuchien, and I am pleased to say I was right on the money. Unfortunately at the time of writing this review, Bailuchien has been taken down temporarily, which makes posting the review to Amazon and Goodreads somewhat tricky (I literally can't...
A strikingly well-written prequel novella to B.S.H. Garcia’s Heart of Quinaria series. Continuing my read-through of SFINCS novellas, next up is B.S.H. Garcia’s From the Depths, which was a finalist in the second year’s contest. For ages I thought it was in the first one, but in putting together this review I realised that while Garcia had a book in SFINCS 1, it was From the Ashes, which I have...
A dark and melancholy fantasy novella from Timothy Wolff. First of all, let me just say that The Whisper that Replaced God is a hell of a title for a book. Kudos on that. And now, having read it and fully understanding the reference, it still hits really hard but in a much more poignant way. And the cover is brilliant as well. What a way to draw you in. This continues my read-through of some of...

A Necromancer Called Gam Gam was one of my favourite books I read last year—An unlikely blend of knitting, kindness, and raising the decaying undead that took me on an emotional journey exploring loss and grief. So when The Wishing Stone was announced, I was so ready for another foray into this big warm hug of a world. And, spoilers for the review below, but I think this one really does top the...
