Welcome to Epic Fantasy author H.C. Newell! I was fortunate to read chapter one of her new book and hooked! I'm looking forward to reading more...
My name is H.C. Newell and I
live with my husband in Nashville, TN. I’m an author of Epic Fantasy and have
been working on my current series, Fallen Light, for the last seven years. I
have no formal training in writing, no awards, and no friends of friends of
Steven King or J.K. Rowling. (Wouldn't that be cool?) I am just a person with a
passion for writing, a love of creativity, and a soul full of imagination. I
have put my entire heart into the Fallen Light series, and I hope that you find
as much joy, wonder, sorrow, and light while reading this series as I have writing it.

What are you working on
now?
Book two of the Fallen Light series
Was there a person who
encouraged you to write?
I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember,
so while there was no need for encouragement, my husband was a big supporter
when I decided to tackle a fantasy series of this size. As any author knows –
writing is hard. I wanted to give up so many times, but he was always my
rock.
What would you say are
your strengths as an author?
Dialogue and character development. I treat the
characters like real people. In my mind they are real, and that mindset
makes it easy to get into their head, give them a voice, and create a realistic
person with their own personality, strengths, and weaknesses.
How often do you write,
and do you write using a strict routine?
I typically wrote for about 5-6 hours a day. It isn’t
all at once, and sometimes it’s more, but as I’ve mentioned writing is my
passion and is my biggest hobby. I love writing. Writing to me is what reading
or watching TV is to others. I just love it. I don’t have a schedule for my
writing. I can’t force myself to write, and if I try, the quality suffers. When
the story comes to me – I write it.
Five years from now,
where do you see yourself as a writer?
I would love to see myself with 3-4 published
books under my belt, and hopefully be earning enough from my series to be a full-time
author! A TV series deal for my book would be pretty cool, too.
Magic is the purest form of
darkness, and those born of its power must be purged.
Born of magic, Nerana is
labeled a demon, and the cost of such treason is her life. Forced into hiding
by the Order of Saro, she seeks to disenchant a curse that keeps her just
within their grasp. After years of searching, she finds her redemption lies
within the forbidden caves of Nhamashel, where ancient magic and formidable
monsters lie in wait.
Through perilous trials, enemy territory, and finding trust in those she was
taught to despise, Nerana soon learns that the journey to releasing such deadly
magic may prove more fatal than the Order itself.
But for Nerana this is more than a quest for survival…
It’s a promise of revenge.
