Author Spotlight: Arthur Griffin

by
Arthur Griffin

Welcome to my weekly Author Spotlight. I’ve asked a bunch of my author friends to answer a set of interview questions, and to share their latest work. Today, Arthur Griffin – Arthur Griffin fell in love with mythology as a six-year-old when his mother, not able to find a sitter, took him with her to her art history class. They were studying Renaissance paintings of Greek and Roman legends, and he learned two very important things that day. One – that there was a whole new world of thrilling stories and myths for him to explore and be enchanted by. … Read more

Interview: Anyta Sunday, Author of Locked

by

A curse threatens the Winter Kingdom. A brother is turned to ice.  A rebel uprising is on the horizon. Marble-maker Rye Cunnings is at the center of it all—and doesn’t know it. He doesn’t know he’s the lost summer prince. Doesn’t know his blood can unlock Winter’s curse. Doesn’t know why the marbles he makes flutter with magic. All he thinks is that he’s crazy. That he sees things others don’t, like dragons and strange markings on his skin.

Great Review for Myths Untold: Faery!

by
Anna Butler

Just got an amazing review from Anna Butler for our new anthology, Myths Untold: Faery: I’ve never grown out of my love for myth and faery stories. In their purest forms, they’re primeval, subversive, eldritch, enlightening, sinister, unsafe and ultimately unknowable. When I graduated up from Grimm, it was to Warner Townsend and Dunsany both of whom have moulded my views of what Faerie is, or may be: minutely detailed, threatening worlds with their cold, inhuman and amoral peoples. Get some of that into a modern day take of faery, and I will be satisfied. Four very different authors. Four very different … Read more

And the Myths Untold: Faery Blog Tour Gets Rolling

by

“Myths Untold: Faery” launched this morning, including my new story “Through the Veil“. And along with it, the blog tour is in full swing. 🙂 Over at Melanie Marshall’s Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words, all four authors are talking about how we write: How do you write – are you a plotter or pantser, or both? Skye Hegyes: I’m a bit of both. With short stories and some of the novellas I’ve worked on, I can take a vague idea and run with it, writing it without planning too much. That said, novels are another story. I recently tried pantsing a … Read more

It’s Double Release Day!

by
Myths Untold: Faery

When it rains, it pours. Today I have not just one but two new stories releasing. The first is my short story – Repetition – coming out in the MCB Quarterly from Mischief Corner Books: Davis plays with people’s lives, changing timelines like other men change clothes. But he always keeps his own timeline out of it by remembering his mantra: You’re not God. Never mess with your own past. Remember, you’re not God. But this time things are different – his new client is a man from Davis’s own past who wants to go back into the closet. Things … Read more

Guest Post: Arthur Griffin, The Lusty Adventures of Theseus

by
The Lusty Adventures of Theseus

Hi there! My name’s Arthur Griffin, and I’m super-stoked to visit Scott’s little corner of the web as part of my blog tour promoting my new book, The Lusty Adventures of Theseus, which I describe as a gay mythological erotic comic adventure fantasy. You know, simple. People ask me what drove me to write Lusty Adventures. Well, the truth is there were several impetuses… impeti… impe… There were several reasons I wanted to write it. The first is I’m a big old nerd, and Greek mythology has always been near and dear to my heart. I’ve always loved all the … Read more

Review: King of the Storm, by BA Brock

by

I just finished reading an Advance Reading Copy of King of the Storm, the first novel from author BA Brock, which came out on Tuesday. Let me say first that I have known BA for about two years now – he is the reviewer for the Queer Sci Fi site, and I was privileged to read a bit of the novel in beta, when it was posted to our critique group. But reading pieces and reading the whole thing are two entirely different experiences. I now know how everything fits together! The book takes place in Greece, but just to … Read more

Thanks so much, Skye, for joining me! J. Scott Coatsworth: How would you describe your writing style/genre? Skye Hegyes: Hmmm… I’ve never considered what kind of style I have. I was never good at recognizing the different styles when … Read more
