Chris Evans, editor of military history and author of A Darkness Forged in Fire and The Light of Burning Shadows, can be found discussing any number of odd and fun topics at his blog.

I’ve learned a few things over the years working in this industry—only a few things, I promise—but one of them is that the publishing business is extremely diverse.

It is diverse because it is made up of real people, from writers to editors to marketers to booksellers and many more, and they are all unique people who have arrived at their current positions through a series of events that shaped them into who they are today.

Chris Evans, author of A Darkness Forged in Fire and The Light of Burning Shadows, is no exception.

Chris came to be a fantasy writer in an unusual way—not through a slush pile or stalking some poor editor at a writer’s conference. Chris is an editor of military history and current affairs books, which puts him far away from the fiction of fantasy but when he decided to write his first novel, A Darkness Forged in Fire, he found the allure of the fantasy genre and took a chance.

So far he’s been getting great reviews!

Here is the first of a few interviews I will be conducting via Suvudu over the next month.

Suvudu readers, I give you Chris Evans:

Suvudu: Hi Chris. Thank you for joining us on Suvudu. How are you doing?

Chris Evans: It’s great to be here, thanks for having me. Autumn is in the air, the surgeon cleared me to start running again (long story short, I managed to injure both legs by running like I was still in my twenties and not, um, slightly older,) and I’m extremely lucky in that I have two jobs — author and editor — that I love, so I’m doing fantastic.

S: A Darkness Forged In Fire has been released in mass market paperback, which means you’ve been a published writer for a year since the hardcover
came out. How has your first year been as a published writer? Have any odd
stories you’d like to share?
