Authors Live: A.F. Steadman

Fantasy phenomenon A.F. Steadman joins us on Authors Live to soar into the world of Skandar. Meet the mind behind these epic battles, ferocious unicorns and courageous heroes and learn how A.F.’s ideas grew from real-life inspiration into an internationally award-winning series. We will hear more about how to build compelling fantasy worlds and find the magic in our own.

A.F. will treat us to exciting readings from her work and give us a closer look at the elemental magic that runs through Skandar. Viewers will get the chance to find out which element suits their personality best – does your affinity lie with air, water, fire, earth, or spirit magic?

Join us as we celebrate the final instalment of the series, Skandar and the Spirit War, and immerse ourselves in this world of heart-pounding fantasy. There might be unicorns – but not as you’ve seen them before!
