I dreamed of being a writer from the age of twelve, but a few years later I won a national prize for a short story - which turned out a total disaster.

Interview with Author – H S Skinner
About H S Skinner: An avid reader ever since I figured out those tiny squiggles on paper were the keys to magic portals leading to other worlds, I have since visited many, many worlds and experienced multitudes of diverse things!

About J.D. Ruffin: J.D. Ruffin is the author of multiple bestselling novels, including the epic fantasy Kingdom War series.

Becoming an author was never part of the master plan, but… As a fourteen-year-old … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – J.D. Ruffin
