He’s Back! This week’s Fika with Vicky’s returning guest is my friend and regular Fika commenter …Author Brian Greiner. That’s right, Mr. Greiner is out of the comment section and in the studio to answer your questions. We’ll be focussing on his Accursed North Series: The Werewolves of Winter and Final Doom. And if we have time we’re going to look into the history and making of Chapbooks, because Chapbooks are cool.

When I originally interviewed Brian back in 2020, he steered me away from this series and to The Sagas of Bob, because he said it may not be the right time for The Accursed North Series. Reality had become stranger than fiction. You know I love Bob, but now I’m wondering if there’s ever the right time for a book or if the world has gotten any less strange. Either way Bob is getting a little competition.

Official synopsis for Werewolves of Winter:

“The werewolves were created by the Change Plague—the result of ill-considered biotechnology. It was only their annual winter die-off that saved humanity. But every spring the Change Plague returned to create a new and more deadly crop of werewolves.
People adapted and managed to carry on despite the increasingly precarious situation.

One man, trapped on his farm north of Toronto, began to piece together hints of a deeper and more dangerous threat. With werewolves closing in, time was running out in a desperate race to uncover answers.
A novel of modern horrors, ancient prophesies, data analysis, and nerds who save the world.”

My synopsis for Werewolves of Winter

Felix has spent his life working to pay the bills, taking orders when he didn’t want to, and behaving as he should. But now he has found his paradise, a quiet rural home with room for a workshop and garden. And then they show up…@#$!ing Werewolves!

Never judge a hero by their plaid slippers and stiff muscles!

About Brian:

Brian retired from the software development rat race to take up the carefree life of an indie author. Besides writing books in various genres, he enjoys reading, gardening, baking, and tinkering in his lair.
Like many authors, he enjoys experimenting with different writing tools and processes. Some call it “procrastination”, but he prefers to call it “research” and “professional development”.
Brian is a firm believer in the power of napping as an essential tool in the writing process.
