#24 The Great Leap: Author Interview with Dan Hanly
Sam and Dan are joined on the podcast by self-published author, Dan Hanly, to discuss his debut novel, The Great Leap (book 1 in the Children of Innauron series).
SPOILER ALERT: While we try to avoid spoilers, the interview inevitably refers to events that occur throughout the book.
We ask Dan all about his thinking behind the world, characters and plot in The Great Leap, along with trying to tease out some of his thinking on the rest of the series. We also cover Dan's writing philosophy and the experience of being a self-published fantasy author.
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains references to potentially triggering adult themes contained within the book.
