FBC's Interview with Christoper
AUTHOR INFO: Christopher Mitchell is the author of the epic fantasy series the Magelands. Christopher’s first memory is of Elvis dying. His gran told him it was because he’d eaten too many cakes, and Christopher believed her. She also told him that there were fairies at the bottom of her garden, and he believed that too. He counts himself very fortunate to have a supportive wife and four beautiful children. He loves deserts, which is too bad as he lives in Scotland, but the mountains, glens and lochs more than make up for it. His other love is Greek Tragedy, especially Euripides, and he also reads history, science, fantasy, and pretty much anything about the Beatles…

Today we have another exclusive cover reveal thanks to Tobias
Begley and his fantasy debut. Firstly a bit about the author: “Tobias Begley is
a physics graduate who decided that physics wasn't magical enough and took up
writing fantasy, at least when he isn't busy with his two cats. He fell in love
with fantasy at a young age, raised on a diet of mythology, Lord of the Rings,
and Chronicles of Prydain. Driven by spite and far too much coffee, he took up
writing to try and put out engaging fantasy stories with LGBT+ protagonists, a
luxury he wishes he had growing up.”
OCTAVIA E. BUTLER (1947–2006) was the renowned author of numerous ground-breaking novels, including Kindred, Wild Seed, and Parable of the Sower. Recipient of the Locus, Hugo and Nebula awards, and a PEN Lifetime Achievement Award for her body of work, in 1995 she became the first science-fiction writer to receive the MacArthur Fellowship ‘Genius Grant’. A pioneer of her genre, Octavia’s dystopian novels explore myriad themes of Black injustice, women’s rights, global warming and political disparity, and her work is taught in over two hundred colleges and universities nationwide.
