Welcome to the SPFBO 8 Finals! Team Queen’s Book Asylum reviews Tethered Spirits by T. A. Hernandez, picked by Becky.
New in the Asylum
Timy reviews The Court of Mortals, the third book in A.J. Lancaster’s Romantic Fantasy series, Stariel.
Noor Al-Shanti, a self-published Fantasy author, is here to try his luck with What the Hungarian?! as part of our 5th Anniversary Bonanza. Let’s see how she fared with my beautiful, but also pain in the arse language!
Stuck in the Pages is a brand new feature I created for the Asylum 5th anniversary bonanza, and I honestly had a lot of fun with it. I didn’t plan to create anything new, hell knows I have enough as it is, but since this happened, Bjørn Larssen, the author of historical fiction, and Norse mythology-inspired Fantasy novels, officially introduces you to it!
In the Author Edition of The Questioning, it’s usually the author who gets to ask me silly questions, but Peter McLean, author of The Burned Man and The War for the Rose Throne series, opted for me to be the interrogator in this Asylum 5th Anniversary Bonanza Special Edition. I warned him that it won’t be a regular interview and he still agreed, so that’s on him.

Author Spotlight
MORE AUTHOR SPOTLIGHTSIt’s my pleasure to host H.C. Newell, who joins me to talk about her Fantasy series, Fallen Light, the third book of which will be released later in 2023. We were also chatting about writing in general, self-publishing, and her future plans for the series.
It’s my pleasure to host P. A. Sheppard, who joins me to talk about his latest release, a Sci-Fi Horror novella Terror Forming, which was published on January 1, 2023.
You know how the saying goes, “new year, new me”. Apparently, that’s true for book covers as well, as Bjørn Larssen decided to give a brand new cover to his debut novel, Storytellers. And the Asylum is excited to show it to you!
