In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Brooklyn Quintana discusses her debut young adult novel, Fynneas Fog: Nine of Swords. This dark fantasy adventure is the first installment in a nine-book series. The novel follows young Prince Fynneas, who is sent from his comfortable home to the Morancy Academy of Military Arts on a magical and dangerous island where his survival cannot be guaranteed. Being homesick is the least of Fynneas’s worries, given that he must deal with eccentric instructors, enchanted jungles, man-eating mermaids, labyrinths and talking spiders. Brooklyn has been writing stories since she was a kid. When she decided to commit to writing her first full-length novel, she chose to write the kind of book she would love to read—and the dark fantasy adventure world of Fynneas Fog was born. In this episode, I’ll chat with Brooklyn about her writing journey, why the best part of her writing process is simply spending time with her characters, and how the Netflix show The Crown provided the spark of inspiration for her debut novel.
