   Interview with Eira Morgan Jones

   The enormously talented Author Eira Morgan-Jones wrote  "Sentinel of the Sun" -  a dystopian tale of murdered gods and ancient magic set in the Welsh wilderness. In a dystopian world with strictly divided domains, a wonderful story unfolds about spirituality, injustice, struggle, and ambition, all placed under the control of an authoritarian religious government. Eira's story masterfully blends plot, suspense, character development, and the gradual revelation of the Sentinels' secrets. A sense of moral uncertainty is also folded into the narrative, lending her book maturity and sophistication. We discuss world-building, Welsh folklore, and the practice and discipline that's involved in creative writing.

   Interview with K M Rickards

   English author K M Rickards (Kelly) has penned a fantasy adventure that's filled with magic. Her adventure story revolves around a fairy character named "Angie Amazonite". The adventure has a magical system that utilizes the healing properties of crystals. Readers who appreciate emotional journeys, studies into self-belief, and the architecture of social bonding (instead of the intense battle scenes in some fantasy romps) will love K M Rickard's first book in a planned series of adventures that she has described as the Crystal Tinker Collection. Book One "The Adventures of Angie Amazonite" delivers a heart-warming, feel-good narrative, and is ideal for readers who might be inspired by crystal magic. In this episode of Myth & Magic Kelly and I discuss writing fairy stories and gathering crystals.
