Author Interview with Dan Kretzer
Introduce yourself!
Hello! My name’s Dan Kretzer, and I’m a new indie author. I published my first fantasy novel, Sword of the Feara, in late 2023 and am working on my next book now.

I started out to prove to him that it wasn’t that hard and when he read it, he said that I should try to make it a “r...
