Tarot and Fiction: Writing about Real Figures with Spark Press Author Susan Wand

Step into the world of Tarot and Fiction, as we discuss writing about Real Figures with Spark Press author Susand Wands. This historical fantasy author, creator of the Arcana Oracle Series. In this episode of Authors’ Alcove: For Fantasy Writers, we explore how Susan mastered the art of writing about real figures—specifically Pamela Colman Smith, the visionary artist behind the modern tarot deck.
Susan shares how her background in theatre and passion for tarot and fiction led to the creation of this richly detailed trilogy. We also chat about her journey as a Spark Press author, the process behind turning her series into audiobooks with insider audiobook publishing tips, and why visionary fiction deserves a bigger spotlight.
