M.S. Olney is one of a bunch of great authors taking part in the Fall into Fantasy (and SFF) promo this month, where we’ve got together with fellow authors we respect to offer a high-quality selection of free books and samples, running Nov 13th – 30th.
As part of the promo, we’re also hosting interviews to let the world know more about the authors involved, so you readers know exactly what you’re getting yourselves into. Yesterday, I was interviewed by promo organizer, Phil Williams, and today I’ve got a short interview with M.S. Olney to share. Read on!
What do you write and what have you written?
I write fantasy and science fiction mostly, but have ambitions to dabbled in more genres in the future. So far, I have written 4 books in The Sundered Crown Saga and 2 books in The Empowered Ones series as well as few novellas and sci-fi books.
What makes something a uniquely M.S. Olney book?
My stories are fast-paced and full of action and adventure. If you want excitement, truly wicked villains, and heroic champions in your fantasy and stories, then check my books out.
And tell us a bit about your Fall into Fantasy offer…
The book I’ve entered into this promotion is The Nightblade, a prequel novel set in the world of the Sundered Crown Saga. It follows the story of two monster hunters, one a retired old man who is forced to take up his magic sword once more and his younger protégée who stumbles upon a plot that threatens the entire world. It dives into more detail of the events that lead into book 1 of the saga, Heir to the Sundered Crown.
When you’re writing, who do you like to read?
Strangely I read very little fantasy and much prefer historical fiction over it as a reader. Currently, I’m reading the final book in Bernard Cornwell’s excellent Uthred series. When I’m not reading fiction, I love a good history book as I find a lot of inspiration from the events of the past.
