My Author Interview with Fantasy Writer Mark Goodrum was fascinating as discussed world building, novel writing, and map making. Known for his captivating "Age of Magic Series," a four-part epic journey beginning with "Killers and Kings," Mark joins us to delve into the enchanting realms of fantasy literature. Agnes commends the intricate artwork adorning the series and shares her excitement about diving into the pages of "Killers and Kings," currently only a few chapters in. While Mark's website hints at an upcoming venture into science fiction, the focus today remains on all things fantasy: from the joys of map making to the complexities of marketing in the genre. Join us as we embark on a magical journey through the creative mind of Mark Goodrum, uncovering the essence of his fantastical worlds and the secrets behind his storytelling prowess. Welcome to a world where imagination knows no bounds, and every page is filled with wonder.

I loved talking writing portal fantasy with Stephanie Dos Santos! We dive into storybook and folklore retellings, exploring how her portal fantasy series, "Talin and the Tree," is based on Caribbean folklore. When Stephanie isn't creating and writing unusual predicaments and adventures for Talin and his companions, she enjoys spending time at home with her multiple pets, perfecting her painting and photography skills, traveling with her Brazilian husband, and eating as much chocolate as possible. Join us for an inspiring conversation about creativity and the magic of storytelling!

This is my second interview with Brooklyn Quintana, a writer in the realms of dark fantasy, illustration, and publishing. She's the creative force behind the Fyneas Fog series, narrating the journey of a twelve-year-old prince grappling with the repercussions of his choices. While it may not rival Harry Potter's allure, Quintana's series captivates adult audiences with its rich tapestry of dark fantasy motifs.

In our recent exchange, she divulged the background of the second in her upcoming nine-part saga. Since we already talked about "Nine of Swords" this time we talked about "Blood in the Water" following suit in July 2023. Beyond her authorial pursuits, Quintana wears the mantle of founder and chief creative officer at Morpheus Media LLC. Our dialogue today delves into her strategies for surmounting writing obstacles, her meticulous revision process, and the profound influence of her artistic sensibilities on the series' aesthetics.
