#256 - Interview with author J.F Monroe

J.F. Monroe writes fantasy that cuts through the noise,sharp dialogue, tight pacing. When characters that actually feel human; even when they’re not. We talked about The Legendary Guardians, her fast-moving fantasy series. Built on character depth over endless world-building. She opens up about writing from New York grit, balancing motherhood and authorship. Learning how to publish on her own terms.

The conversation moves from Lord of the Rings, and Stephen King. To nostalgia, film, and how simplicity can make a story timeless. J.F. shares why she skips a hundred pages of lore to focus on what matters, how her characters feel. It’s raw, honest, and full of that underground creative energy. That makes storytelling feel alive again!
