Today we have fantasy author J.C. Morrows with us. J.C. Morrows is the author of the best-selling YA dystopian series Order of the MoonStone and the new Frozen World series—a post-apocalyptic with a dystopian edge. J.C. spends her days writing, arguing with her evil computer, juggling two kids, and wishing someone would invent a coffee IV (don’t we all!). Please join me in welcoming J.C. Morrows! 1) When did you realize you wanted to become a writer? It was not a conscious decision. I have been a storyteller my entire life. There was never a question of whether or not I wanted to be a …
Interview with S.D. Grimm
Today we are excited to introduce you to one of our newest authors, S.D. Grimm. Sarah’s first love in writing is young adult speculative fiction. When she’s not writing or editing, she enjoys reading (of course!), making clay dragons for her Grimmlies store on Etsy, practicing kickboxing and Brazilian jiu jitsu, training dogs, and doing anything outdoorsy with the family. Her office is anywhere she can curl up with her laptop and at least one large-sized dog. Her debut novel, Scarlet Moon, releases this month with Enclave. Join me in welcoming S.D. Grimm! 1) Tell us a little about your books. Scarlet Moon …
A Short Talk with Steve Rzasa
Today we have Steve Rzasa with us. We’ve interviewed Steve before (you can find his original interview here), but we thought we would visit with Steve again and see what’s been happening besides a new book coming out, new covers, and life in general as a multi-published author. Please welcome Steve Rzasa! 1) You’re a multi-book published author now. Do you do things differently now than you did back when you first started writing? Do you still get excited with each new book/series? I plot and outline more than I used to. Doesn’t mean I don’t do things by …

Interview with Joan Campbell
Today we have Joan Campbell with us, one of our newest authors to Enclave. Joan has always been captivated by stories, but it wasn’t until she read The Chronicles of Narnia to her two young daughters that she was inspired to write her own. Through C.S Lewis’ words—and particularly through the character of Aslan—she came to appreciate the powerful way in which a story can convey redemption. That was when she started writing Chains of Gwyndorr . The daughter of Dutch immigrants, Joan grew up in South Africa and the themes of discrimination and forgiveness are woven through her writing. She also …

Interview with Robert Treskillard
Hi and welcome to another speculative author interview at Enclave Publishing. Today we have Robert Treskillard with us. Robert is the author of the series The Merlin Spiral. 1) Everyone seems to have a “how I got published” story. What is yours? Well, not to join the crowd, but I began by being rejected by Steve Laube! I had an appointment with him at the 2008 ACFW conference, and when I subsequently submitted MERLIN’S BLADE to him, he rejected it. But … he did give me one bit of information that greatly encouraged me: He told me that the concept …
Interview with Angie Brashear
Welcome to another speculative interview at Marcher Lord Press. Today we have debut author Angie Brashear with us. 1) Tell us a little about your books. I write fantasy with a strong thread of romance. My debut novel, previously titled Never Let Go, is currently undergoing some unexpected but exciting changes – a new title and cover, as well as a possible new release date. Ultimately, my goal is to reach young adult females much like the lost, lonely girl I once was. As a nonbeliever for the majority of my life, I enjoyed reading speculative fiction and it was …
