We delve into what it was like creating this 840 page book, including pulling from Elizabethan history, the good and the bad sides of dragons in myth, the nuance of religion in telling a story, and unique challenges she faced writing a standalone. We also chat about books she's read recently, what she's working on now, and who's really her favorite character in the book (shh, don't tell the others!). All this and more on this episode of the Ink Feather Podcast! Follow Samantha on Instagram and Twitter. Also, don't forget to follow us on Instagram, facebook, and twitter.
