Medieval Intrigue: Villains, Heroes, and Twists That Work with Author Robert A Walker

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Robert A Walker, author of the book Six Moons, Seven Gods. Robert A. Walker grew up in Northwestern Massachusetts. After graduating college, he packed his scant belongings in a car with rusted-out floorboards and headed west, where he began a decades-long career in local government. He’s lived in California ever since, and now resides along the Pacific Ocean with his wife and dogs, where he writes fantasy novels with a mix of drama, heart and humor.   His debut novel, Six Moons, Seven Gods, (the first in a fantasy trilogy titled The Legends of Baelon) received several honors, including The Chrysalis BREW Project’s Readers’ Choice Award for June, 2024; Chick Lit Cafe’s Book Excellence Award for Best Medieval Fantasy, November, 2023; a Literary Titan Gold Book Award in December, 2023, and a Readers’ Favorite Bronze Award in 2024.   More recently, Book Two in The Legends of Baelon series–Two Crowns, Three Blades–received Reader Views’ 2025 Gold Book Award; Word Media’s Page Turner Award; Literary Titan’s Silver Book Award, 2025; and a Reader’s Favorite Bronze Book Award.   Book Three, One Taste of Euphoria, is due to be released September 1, 2026!   When not fabricating stories, Robert can be found roaming local tennis courts or working on a never-ending list of DIY house projects.   In my book review, I stated Six Moons, Seven Gods is a fantasy by Robert A Walker. And despite fantasy not being one of my go-to genres, I loved this story. Why? Because the characters were so well-developed. I simply had to keep reading to learn what happened to them.   Sibil Dunn is a young woman who finds herself at a crossroads. Her father died when she was young. Her mom is crazy. Her best friend died in a tragic accident. And the boy she has loved for years is about to become a knight and doesn't even know she loves him. And then life gets worse.   The storyline will keep you engaged, but it is the characters, including all the side characters, who will hook you in. Evil-doers, thieves, royalty, priests, knights, and simple townspeople just doing their jobs - all captured my attention and made me feel like I was living in the kingdom of Baelon. I really loved that even the good-guys weren't perfect and often made errors of judgment. Great job, Robert, on making fiction characters feel real.   This is a must-buy!   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Robert A Walker Website: https:www.//rawalkerwriting.com FB: @Robert A Walker, Author IG: @rawalkerbooks LinkedIn: Robert A Walker   Purchase Six Moons, Seven Gods on Amazon: Paperback:  https://amzn.to/4g6xXfH Ebook: https://amzn.to/3TWdiCx   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?
