Al Harron is a writer & artist who has dedicated years of study to art & classic adventure fiction, in particular the work of Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard, a pillar of the fantasy genre.
Al has written about Howard’s influence on the wider fantasy genre, the deeper themes and subtext of his stories, his attention to historical detail informing his fiction, and his connections to Scottish literature, folklore, and history.
He hopes you will join him as he explores the transcontinental connection between the world’s most famous Barbarian and Scotland’s own rich history of fantasy fiction.
Claire’s not just a fantasy writer — she’s lived it. As a former archaeologist and re-enactor, her stories are woven with rich lore, deep world-building, and the kind of detail only experience can bring.
She’s the author of the Ravensrise Trilogy, with books “Ravensrise” and “Raven’s Fall” already casting their spell on readers. In Raven’s Fall, the city becomes a beacon of resistance in a world torn between the destruction of magic and the rise of darkness threatening the realm of Arella.
Don’t miss your chance to Meet Claire in person, hear her read from Raven’s Fall and grab signed copies of her books for your collection
