Writing Great Books and Building a LitRPG Press with James Hunter

This is the Books and Authors Fantasy Podcast Episode 57 with James Hunter.

Good day and welcome to this episode of the Books and Authors Fantasy Podcast. I’m your host, podcaster and author of Fun Fantasy Reads, Jamie Davis. This podcast is exactly what the title says it is, a show focused on everything in fantasy books.

This show will cover everything to do with fantasy books. From Epic Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Sword and Sorcery, and everything in between, expect to find the best and brightest authors from all the various corners of the fantasy book world. Plus we’ll add in a few other very special guests as well along the way.

In my update for the week. I’m putting the finishing touches on Cyber’s Underground, book 3 in the Sapiens Run trilogy. That will be heading off to the editor by the end of this week. I’m also almost set for the launch of book 3 in the Broken Throne urban fantasy series, Queen of Avalon.

In honor of that, The Charm Runner, book 1 in the series is discounted to 99¢ all week so if you haven’t yet started the series, now’s your chance to jump in and get book 1 for a steal.

As always, if you’re interested in more information on what I’m up to, check out my fan group on Facebook, Jamie’s Fun Fantasy Readers and on my website and blog, JamieDavisBooks.com.

Now let’s get into our author interview for this episode. James Hunter is a full-time ink slinger, a member of SFWA, and the bestselling author of the Yancy Lazarus Series, Rogue Dungeon, and the litRPG epic Viridian Gate Online! In addition to writing, James also runs a non-traditional publishing company, Shadow Alley Press, with his wife, Jeanette (who is an amazing business partner and an even better wife).

James is a former Marine Corps Sergeant, combat veteran, and pirate hunter (seriously). He’s also a member of The Royal Order of the Shellback—’cause that’s totally a real thing. And a spaceship captain, can’t forget that. Okay … the last one probably isn’t true. When not writing or spending time with family, James occasionally finds time to eat and sleep.

James is one of my Bali trip writing friends and we talk about that, writing great stories, and his upcoming excursion to meet readers and fans at DragonCon in Atlanta this coming weekend. If you’re there, make sure you stop in and tell him you heard this podcast!
