Long, H.M. (H.M. Long)

Hannah M Long, a Canadian author, has carved a niche for herself in the world of fantasy literature with a flair for blending historical intrigue and adventurous exploration. With a love for history that rivals her passion for storytelling, Long's narratives are as rich in detail as they are in imagination. Hailing from Ontario, where she resides in a charmingly ramshackle cabin with her husband and dog, Long's life is as picturesque as the worlds she creates in her books.

However, don't be fooled by her serene domestic life. Long is as much an explorer in reality as her characters are in fiction. Often found meandering through European museums or taking in the majestic beauty of the Alps, she draws inspiration from the world around her, infusing her stories with a sense of authenticity and wonder.

Writing for Titan Books, Long debuted in 2021 with "Hall of Smoke," an epic tale that immediately captivated readers with its intricate world-building and rich narrative. The success of her debut was followed by "Temple of No God" and "Barrow of Winter," each book further delving into the captivating world she has crafted. "Pillar of Ash," set to release on January 16th, 2024, continues the saga in the Hall of Smoke world, promising more of Long's signature blend of myth, history, and adventure.

In addition to the Hall of Smoke series, Long has ventured into new territory with "Dark Water Daughter." This novel marks the beginning of a Georgian fantasy world, replete with weather witches, warring fleets, and tumultuous winter seas. It's a world where the forces of nature intertwine with human ambition, creating a narrative tapestry that is both grand and intimate. The eagerly awaited sequel, "Black Tide Son," slated for release in July 2024, is sure to be a continuation of this enthralling journey.
