But what is it that keeps readers coming back for more? Join the British Fantasy Society and our panel at 1:45pm on Saturday as we discuss the craft and character of romance in Fantasy.
AK Faulkner is the author of the award-winning, PW-starred Inheritance series of queer urban fantasy novels. They live in the depths of England with their unhinged Corgi and savage attack cat, and love nothing more than taking innocent characters who have done nothing wrong in their lives ever* and putting them through a blender.
