ABOUT ME

Hailing from the UK, Ricky Smith is an indie fantasy author who discovered his love for fantasy after picking up The Redemption of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings in an airport bookshop. Twenty years later, that same copy still sits on his shelf as he pens his own stories, inspired by the legendary J. R. R. Tolkien as well as more recent authors like Brandon Sanderson, George R. R. Martin and Robert Jordan.

​

A Line Unsundered was his debut novella, and tells the story of a noble house that tears itself apart under the strain of its own past. First written during the COVID-19 pandemic and published in November 2020 as a Godworlds novella, the universe in which Ricky's books takes place has started to grow and it is now being rewritten as a Definitive Edition. Not only that, but it is now the first book in a trilogy that continues the story of House Vasso's tragic cycle of vengeance: Children of Kyir.

​

Ricky is also working on his next book 'In His Winter', a cozy fantasy novella about an autumnal faery called Nusti who wakes up in winter. Due to release in December 2024, this story marks the beginning of an epic arc of stories that build towards something truly fantastic.
