Back in November, I had a great conversation with Izaic Yorks about his Saga of Valor Series, starting with Ascendant. Well, we know what happened in early December, but like another author, his episode didn't get scheduled, so he had a delay on top of a delay! So finally we have his episode and guys, you've got to listen in and hear about the inspiration for this story, all the things available, and all the things coming. I was so inspired chatting with him!

When Izaic York and I started chatting before his interview, we talked for at least an hour before we actually began recording, and boy was I impressed with his personal ethic, his work ethic, and his creativity. So I wasn't surprised at all by how excited I was as he began describing his book.
Ascendant offers a flintlock dystopian epic fantasy that sounds amazing. I mean, a world where a tyrant is using (the redefinition and eradication of!!!) words as a way of control? Yes, please! And that's just a small part of the book, but as we chatted, you get a sense of what current events might have inspired or shaped elements of the book, and I'm dying to know what he did with it.
And then to learn that he has another Kickstarter coming for book two in March? Sign me up! I'm just bummed that I missed the first one.
Revolution cometh!
The sound of Valor shall resound, piercing even the deepest reaches of the city, and in the end, not a soul will be untarnished. . .
Until now, no one has managed to end the Lord Prime's tyranny.
That is until a deep and unlikely magic awakens within her.
Dirk Ava wants the same things as any other teenager.
Someone to love her. The freedom to do as she wishes... and the chance to overthrow the Lord Prime. Daughter to a rebel extremist, Dirk Ava has been groomed for rebellion before she could even walk, but when the magic of the Ascendants appears within her, Ava's life is turned inside out.
Set on a soul-shattering quest, Ava's coming-of-age story requires her to master her powers, overcome betrayal, and slay the Lord Prime--or lose everything and everyone she loves.
This is her destiny, but where good comes at the cost of evil, will Dirk Ava be able to keep her soul untarnished? Or will she become the very monster she hates?

Author Tim Facciola discusses his new Vengeful Realm series. The first book, The Scales of Balance, is out now. Tim describes his fantasy series as Game of Thrones meets Spartacus’s rebellion from Rome. Told from seven different points of view, The Scales of Balance follows the story of several main characters, one of whom is Zephyrus, a gladiator with amnesia and a mysterious prophecy who finds himself fighting for his freedom while also serving as a royal spy. This book is filled with combat, conspiracies, betrayals, gods and magic. But at its heart, it is a story about finding one’s identity.
Author Catherine Raphael discusses her new epic fantasy novel, Journey to the Heart Stone. A long-time fan of the genre, Catherine started writing Journey to the Heart Stone because she was frustrated with the skewed portrayal of women in most fantasy novels. They were either the damsel in distress or the evil, old crone. So, Catherine set out to build a world that showed the breadth of female power, and her main character is a 37-year-old woman who must unite three warring tribes and restore peace…all while pregnant.
Author Zach Sabra discusses his debut novel, Land of Demons: A New Age Dawns. It’s the first installment in the Land of Demons series, a sweeping and gritty fantasy that starts as young adult but is intended to grow with readers in terms of content, symbolism and violence. Zach’s background is in screenwriting and game design. Land of Demons has been 20 years in the making and is inspired by Zach’s love of movies, anime and video games, especially Lord of the Rings, Samurai Jack and the video game Spyro.

If you would have told me two years ago that I would both seal a monstrous demon to the Hell-Sword and be the one called to answer to The Great Old One, Cthulhu, I'd think you were trying to sell me a time machine or something because that's amazing you'd be able to know that. Let's just say Cthulhu and I have some differences to hash out this go around.
