It’s always difficult to pin down the genesis of an idea but I recall the basis of Blood Song germinating for a few years but not really coming together until I started my history studies. Also, although I had a one page synopsis, I wasn’t working to a detailed plan, something I’ve subsequently learned is very useful in speeding up the writing process. Working a full time job whilst studying part time for a history degree had a lot to do with the time taken to write Blood Song. In this exclusive interview, Anthony talks to us about his work and inspirations.īlood Song is an epic fantasy in every sense of the word – particularly in that it took you six years to write!

BLOOD SONG ( UK | ANZ) was published last week to a chorus of rave reviews and online buzz that heralded the novel as one of the year’s best epic fantasy debuts and author Anthony Ryan as a huge new talent in the genre.
