Swift Six Author Interview – Brian Byrom
Name: Brian Byrom
Please introduce yourself (250 words or so): I was born and raised in Southeast Texas where I nurtured (and continue to nurture) a lifelong passion for world mythology, philosophy, theology, and folklore. This, along with my love of nature and reading, led me to create my own universe that I could fill with characters and relics, mystery and lore. Writing has become one of the most enjoyable parts of my life, and I sincerely hope that you get a sense of that as you dive into my stories.
Tell us about your book(s) – title, genre etc (short) Second Eight – The Three Rings is a fantasy novel set in Texas in the 1980s. In short, this is Demons and their minions vs. Angels and their human allies, primarily the kids at St. Alexis. The Devil wiped out these kids’ families and they want revenge.
When did you start your writing adventure? About four years ago. What was the inspiration for it? The inspiration was a sever lack of quality content at the time. I thought, “I can do better than that.” So I decided to try.
What writing plans do you have for the future? Second Eight will be five or six books when complete. I am also working on two spinoffs and an update to the midevil bestiaries.
What do you like to read? Everything but smut. Sci-fi, fantasy, theology, philosophy, western, mystery, drama, manga, horror…
What piece of advice do you wish you’d had when you’d started your writing adventure? Writing will consume your world, so don’t get in if you aren’t willing to allow that to happen.

Quick book description: In short, this is Demons and their minions vs. Angels and their human allies, primarily the kids at St. Alexis. The Devil wiped out these kids’ families and they want revenge. But they are kids and are going to need some help. Their parents’ old friends, some demons looking for redemption, and a pile of mythical weapons just might do the trick. Its fun, scary, philosophical and enlightening.
In Hell, Lucy’s been plotting her revenge for centuries. It’s almost time for her to make her play for the throne, but she has a few loose ends to tie up before she can strike. Step one is eliminating the kids at St. Alexis.
Once the fighting begins, the kids will discover that their greatest weapons are their faith in and love for each other.
