Mechs, Magic, and Mayhem – featuring Flintlock Fantasy Author G. SCOTT HUGGINS
Friday, July 18th @ 8pm EST
HEY, Y’ALL, and welcome to my re-branding of what used to be the rather clunkily named “Author Q&A (and Prizes!)”
Why the clunk? Well, I started that interview series on a whim because I have loads of author friends and like to chat with them, and figured readers would like to chat with them too, so I half-assed a title and slapped it on YouTube.
Then, as happens with fun things I half-ass … it became a success, people started calling me A Podcaster, and I needed something better than “Author Q&A (and Prizes)!” to call said podcast. (I still consider myself more “author with occasional delusions of podcaster-dom,” but the people have spoken.)
All that said, I combined a bunch of things I love about the works of the authors I interview, so—ta-da!—we have “MECHS, MAGIC, and MAYHEM: INTERVIEWS WITH SCI-FI AND FANTASY AUTHORS.”
Today’s guest is G. Scott Huggins, author of flintlock fantasy epic The Wishkiller Saga, which begins with A Cold and Mortal Spring, and of which DAVID WEBER HIMSELF said:
“I really, really like this book. A lot. If you want heroes, honor, dastardly villains, and an existential threat to all human life, all wrapped up in battles, bloodshed, assassinations, treason, and men and women prepared to die for honor, you will too.”
If that grabbed you, rejoice, ’cause we’ll be talking about the upcoming Book 2, War of the Shattered Moon … and giving away a signed copy!

War of the Shattered Moon
The Wishkiller Saga #2
by G. Scott Huggins
***
The war has come. From the soul of the Well, it sweeps across the plains and washes into the cities in a tide of green madmen and red blood.
While the Kingdom of Verlaen fights for its life against the deadly Lotus, Last Sword of the King Aethal Paaling seeks out Admiral Malcoor, the one man who may have faced the ancient foe and survived. His quest will confront him with Well-spawned weapons long-hidden from men, suspicion and betrayal among his own kin, and a conspiracy that reaches the very roots of the throne he is sworn to guard.
As the King despairs of holding his struggling realm together, Aethal and his allies discover a hellish cult taking root among the people of the Grain Sea. A cult that can transform the docile Leafeaters into berserker warriors. But even this may prove to be the least of Aethal’s worries, for even the Lotus cannot compete with the allure of the oldest addiction of man: Power.
In the midst of a war for humanity itself, Aethal comes face-to-face with the question of whether he will have to destroy his kingdom if he is to save anyone.
“The first new novel I’ve read in years that I haven’t wanted to put down.” ~ David Weber, author of the best selling Honor Harrington series
