    Ep. 26 - Brooklyn Quintana: Fantastic Tales With Brooklyn

    📚 In this episode of Under Pressure, we sit down with Brooklyn Quintana, the brilliant mind behind the Fynneas Fog fantasy series — including fan-favorites Nine of Swords and Blood in the Water. From corporate legal life to crafting immersive magical worlds, Brooklyn shares her journey of walking away from the grind of law firm life to follow her passion for storytelling — and what it really takes to build a compelling literary universe from scratch. Brooklyn gets candid about the highs and lows of being a modern author, including the challenges of writer’s block while working on book 3, the chaos of plotting out books 4 and 5, and her dreams of a sweeping prequel. (Yes, it’s a whole thing — ADHD-fueled imagination and all.) We also dive into the creative crossroads of literature and technology, touching on the future of writing in the age of AI, her love-hate relationship with Harry Potter, and how pressure plays a role in every chapter of her evolving career. Whether you're an aspiring author, a fantasy fiction addict, or just love hearing how creativity thrives under pressure, this episode is one for the bookshelf. 📖✨ 🔗 Learn more about Brooklyn and the Fynneas Fog series: www.fynneasfog.com 🔥 No pressure... but don’t miss more from Under Pressure: 📲 Instagram: @underpressurepodcastcg 📘 Facebook: Under Pressure Podcast 🎵 TikTok: @underpressurepodcastc 🌐 Website: www.underpressurepod.com 📩 For collaborations or guest inquiries: underpressurepodofficial@gmail.com
