Peng Shepherd — THE BOOK OF M author Fictitious
THE SIN IN THE STEEL (Tor Books) is the debut novel from author Ryan Van Loan. We talk about his Sherlock-meets-Pirates fantasy world full of dead gods and shapeshifting mages, and the influence of his military career on the novel.
Hosted & produced by Adron Buske, Fictitious delves into the craft of Science Fiction and Fantasy storytelling through interviews with authors and other professional writers.
These conversations examine the writing process, techniques, and work habits of passionate creators and explore their most recent, and most popular, works.

Swords and sorcery, monsters and mayhem. Extraordinary heroes embark on epic adventures in your High Fantasy stories. This playlist accompanies your quest through rolling countryside, humble towns, to the brink of war, calamity — and victory.
The game is afoot! No matter your genre, problems and mysteries often emerge. When your heroes don’t have the answers, it’s time to break out the magnifying glass and begin The Investigation.
During tumultuous times and harrowing adventures, sometimes the most welcome thing is a simple, isolated haven. Give your characters a calm before the inevitable storm — to rest, to heal, to love — here in A Safe Place.
These city streets are home to more than mundane mortals. Arcane magics, bloodthirsty brooders, and shapeshifting monsters lurk in the shadowy corners of your Urban Fantasy. Grab your spellbook, sword, or chainsaw and let’s get to hunting!
