Megan Linski belongs to a new generation of independent authors who have built devoted followings entirely on their own terms. A USA Today bestseller based in Michigan, she has written more than sixty fantasy and paranormal novels, and runs her own imprint, Gryfyn Publishing, to bring them into the world.
Her natural readership is the young adult and new adult crowd, roughly the fourteen to twenty-four age bracket, and her stories return again and again to a few warm constants: loyal friendship, found family, and romance that is passionate without ever losing its kindness. Magic academies, shape-shifters, fae courts and battling angels supply the spectacle, but the emotional core is always reassuringly human.
Prolific, community-minded and unafraid of a sprawling saga, Linski writes the sort of immersive series that readers tend to devour in great gulps. She is a fine example of just how far a self-published storyteller can travel on imagination and sheer hard work.
