Ash Roberts is a transgender author who writes books about dragons, and those who ride them. She has loved dragons ever since a family friend lent a precocious fourteen-year-old her copy of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonflight. She was hooked.

She credits Rick Riordan with saving her life because of a trans character he wrote. To pay it forward, she now writes books with plenty of LGBTQIA+ characters so that queer kids can see themselves in stories and not feel so alone.

When not writing, she spends her time in Northern Colorado with her wife and their family, including 2 ¾ cats.

Author interview – Kate Grove

Hi Kate! Welcome! Tell us, when did you start writing, and why?

I remember my first story was a Christmas story for the animals. I was inspired by a children’s book I really like, and I think I was around seven at the time. But I didn’t decide (hah!) to be a writer until I was thirteen. That’s when I realised that there are people called writers, whose job is to write down their daydreams. Which is awesome.Read More →

Tom became an author, writer’s unblocker, meditation guide, temporal alchemist, and ambient music composer by accident. He still doesn’t know what he wants to do when he grows up.

Author interview – Tom Evans

When did you start writing, and why?

I wrote my first book by accident. It just came through. No reason or motivation other than to let the Muse take me.

At what age did you take yourself seriously as a writer?

This happened when I wrote my first book of pure philosophy, called This We Know. Here, I’m writing about what I thought about the world, as opposed to writing a book explaining a process.

How long did it take you to write your first book?

Back then, I felt I had so much to say and my first contacts with serious literature were so inspiring that the urge to write developed naturally. I started writing short stories and poetry that, however childish they were, provided me with a much-needed creative challenge.Read More →
