Earlier this year I had the absolute pleasure of being interviewed on the Escapists Anonymous channel about The Great Leap. Sam and Dan were both excellent hosts, who had read the book from cover to cover before the interview.
This is the first interview of this kind I’ve done, given that I was able to drill down directly into my process, my inspiration, and my decisions around the characters, narrative and themes of the book.
It’s available to watch on YouTube, but if you’d prefer audio only, then you can find it here on BuzzSprout, syndicated into any and all of your favourite podcasting platforms (Spotify, Apple etc.)
#24 The Great Leap: Author Interview with Dan Hanly
Sam and Dan are joined on the podcast by self-published author, Dan Hanly, to discuss his debut novel, The Great Leap (book 1 in the Children of Innauron series).
SPOILER ALERT: While we try to avoid spoilers, the interview inevitably refers to events that occur throughout the book.
We ask Dan all about his thinking behind the world, characters and plot in The Great Leap, along with trying to tease out some of his thinking on the rest of the series. We also cover Dan’s writing philosophy and the experience of being a self-published fantasy author.TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains references to potentially triggering adult themes contained within the book.
