Author Interview | T. Kingfisher (aka Ursula Vernon) | What Stalks the Deep

Grab your copy of What Stalks the Deep here! https://bookshop.org/a/94484/9781250354921In this engaging conversation, T. Kingfisher discusses her latest release for the Sworn Soldier series, What Stalks the Deep. From fairytales to horror, Kingfisher has a way of injecting whimsy into all of her writing. Her latest edition is no different — there might have been a few tears at the end. We go over her entire publishing journey, from her start in children’s books to why she made the switch to her more adult-oriented titles, including why she goes by the pen name T. Kingfisher. She also shares insights into her creative process, the importance of research, and the emotional depth of her characters. Then we get a boost of inspiration in hearing about her self-publishing journey. A treat for anyone who loves her writing, our Kingfisher interview is a treat for the writers and the readers. Find T.
