historical fantasy

Are you curious to uncover the secrets behind crafting a captivating debut novel? What about the art of weaving fantasy, history, and fairy tales into a spellbinding narrative? Today, we're thrilled to have debut novelist Kell Woods on the Convo Couch, painting a vivid picture of her journey from a childhood filled with magic to becoming the author of AFTER THE FOREST. The book is a fascinating amalgamation of love, magic, history, and a retelling of the Hansel & Gretel fairy tale—promising to leave you enchanted.

We dive deep into Kell's writing process, exploring the challenges she faced, from finding an agent to maintaining historical accuracy. We also discuss the inspiration she drew from fairy tales and how she skillfully infused her narrative with historical elements. As a debut author, Kell opens up about her struggles and triumphs, offering valuable insights for aspiring writers. In addition, we explore the unique themes in her novel and the powerful message it delivers about acknowledging and embracing one's uniqueness.

Towards the end of our conversation, we switch gears to talk about the business side of writing and launching a novel. Kell shares her tips on time management, the importance of professional feedback, and how to effectively promote your book online. We celebrate the book launch and discuss the joy of connecting with readers. Whatever your relationship with writing—whether you're an aspiring author or a fantasy lover—this episode is an insightful journey into the universe of storytelling.

WORLD AFTER
A princess with a secret. An outlaw on a mission. A kingdom on the brink of collapse...

The Ending Series was just the beginning. Three centuries later, this is their legacy.

Princess Delphinia knows her mother, the queen of the Corvo kingdom, is up to no good. Del can feel it in her bones, and she's determined to uncover the truth. When her search for answers leads her to a mysterious chest filled with artifacts from the distant past--from the world before--she realizes her mother's nefarious actions are more deeply rooted than she ever could have imagined.

Finlay Cartwright's people have been hunted since the world collapsed after The Ending. An outcast in hiding, he's trained all his life for the day the Corvo kingdom would come for them. The queen, however, has other plans. When the man who raised Fin is taken, Fin will stop at nothing to save his people. But the lines between friend and foe are blurred when a castle servant girl on a mission of her own offers to help Fin with his rescue.

World After is the prequel to a riveting new series in the world of The Ending, The Ending Legacy. If you like unique dystopian worlds, coming-of-age transformations, star-crossed romances, and a hint of Fantasy in your Sci Fi, then you'll love this page-turning adventure.

Mary Good Crow is a half-Lakota girl, rejected by both her country and people, who possesses the ability to hear the crystal's song. After Josie Price, niece of Sam Price and new owner of the largest mining company, comes to town, the two of them team up with a crystal powered gunslinger to find Sam Price's last big claim. Follow them on a fantastical journey, down into the twisted mines. You can find links to the book below.

Marissa chats with Sarah Raughley about her new historical fantasy - THE BONES OF RUIN - as well as balancing incredible superpowers with weaknesses and drawbacks - whether physical, emotional, or psychological; using your protagonist's greatest desires, and the consequences they'll face if they don't get what they want, to create escalating suspense; a number of things to consider when designing an in-story tournament or competition; how grounding your historical fantasy in well-researched reality helps your readers suspend disbelief; and a great tip inspired by anime and manga: developing characters around a set archetype, before digging deeper to make them fully realized and three-dimensional.

Episode 12  of BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, featuring Nikki, Kelly, and Tilly! Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and pair it with a drink inspired by the book.

In this episode, the final episode of Season 1, we discuss R.F. Kuang's historical fiction fantasy, "The Poppy War".

This episode's drink is a Poppy Cocktail! It features gin, pomegranate juice, citrus vodka, and a splash of lemon-lime soda. We felt it was fitting given as pomegranates are ancient fruits, and given the importance of poppies and poppy seeds in the story, pomegranates are the closest things to put in a drink!

** Content/trigger warnings include: war, genocide, sexual assault, self-harm, and graphic violence. **

Splitting hairs on subgenres - what does historical fantasy mean and what are the expectations? - and how those labels affect marketing and discoverability. Also, marketing your backlist and writing consistently FTW.

Next Episode: Season Ending Epilogue prior to break!

This one is all about Guy Gavriel Kay, one of my favorite authors. He writes historically inspired fantasy with a literary edge, and is an author worth knowing about. His books are many, including Tigana, The Sarantine Mosaic, Under Heaven, River Of Stars, The Fionavar Tapestry, A Brightness Long Ago, The Lions Of Al-Rassan, Ysabel, Children Of Earth And Sky. It's brilliant, low-key epic fantasy. 

Check back every week for new episodes full of writing tips, book discussions, literary analysis, and join us as we learn to write better.

I am a writer with a love for learning and discussing fiction, especially sci-fi and fantasy!
