Episode 398: Holly Davis talks A Diamond Bright & Broken, and her work as an Author

Continuing the goal to have more authors on the podcast, author Holly Davis joins me to talk about her journey as an author and her first published book.

We kick things off by going back in time. To a time where Disney and video games collided to form the Kingdom Hearts franchise. This is where Holly first started her journey, writing fan fiction based in the Kingdom Hearts setting. Holly talks about why fanfic is a great place to start your author journey. From there, she talks about the in-between times, from fanfic, to her real world work, and making time to get her ideas out of her head and into written form.

Then we talk about her first published book, "A Diamond Bright & Broken". This book released November of 2024. Holly talks about how she came up with the ideas and story, her characters, and how she based some real world items into the fantasy realm that this book takes place.

Interested in the book? Holly's elevator pitch includes it being a Tangled retelling with a female Flynn Rider, has a ride or die sister relationship, LGBT representation, and mages with unique magic, to name a few.

Holly wraps it up by talking about her advice to those who wish to also start their author journey, and what is to come from her in the future!
