    Robert Jackson Bennett on A Trade of Blood, Fantasy Mysteries, and Hideo Kojima

    Author Robert Jackson Bennett joins UpperPen to discuss A Trade of Blood, the newest Ana and Din mystery, and why the series is fundamentally detective fiction set inside an extraordinary fantasy world. I love mystery stories and these books are that and some! Apparently I am not the only one, Hideo Kojima wrote "[The Tainted Cup] is a masterpiece that deserves to be read. Highly Recommended." Who could need more encouragement?! The world is unique, the characters are well developed, and the stories are INTERESTING! So freaking interesting.

    Amy Archer on Nemesis Mine, Fake Rivalries, and Cliche Villains

    Author Amy Archer joins UpperPen to discuss her debut fantasy novel, Nemesis Mine, a charming story about a villain who isn't particularly villainous and a hero who desperately needs a comeback. We talk about how Cyrus has plant magic and his relationship with Max, a hero who needs a comeback to stay relevant in this fantasy world. The book is out in the US on June 23rd, in the UK it is out on June 18...also I kind of enjoy the UK cover a little more than the US one. Both are good, but the UK one is "striking"... it doesn't capture the comedy of the book as well though. You can follow Amy on Instagram @AmyElizaArcher #romantasy #books #debutnovel #pridemonth
