In this exclusive interview, debut author Cameron Sullivan takes us behind the pages of his dark historical fantasy, The Red Winter. From reimagining the chilling legend of the Beast of Gévaudan to crafting a tragic, time-spanning romance, Sullivan shares how history, horror, and heartbreak intertwine in his ambitious debut. We discuss writing across three timelines and blending real historical figures with supernatural lore. There was also discussion bout the difficulty of the parallel timelines and how his next book will have the same. If you love epic quests, gothic atmosphere, and romances that ache long after the final page, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

About the author:

Cameron Sullivan was born in Perth, Western Australia. He grew up with the dark fantasy and horror icons of the ’80s and went on to study classics and creative writing at the University of Western Australia. After several years working and studying in Italy and the UK, he returned to Australia and settled in Melbourne, which is the best place for Australians who actually enjoy the winter. He works as a copywriter and will easily lose a weekend to a good book, a new recipe or games of any kind, from tabletop DnD to pub trivia. The Red Winter is his debut novel.
