Sai Marie Johnson — 'Of Masters & Slaves' | Fantasy Author Interview on Magic, Betrayal & Worldbuilding
Description
Author Spotlight: Shannon interviews Sai Marie Johnson (author, screenwriter, poet) about her fantasy novel Of Masters & Slaves — a tale of ancient oaths, dormant magic, betrayal and dangerous choices. Hear how Johnson’s world building reflects inner life, the novel’s central themes, and her creative approach across poetry, screenwriting and prose. Episode for fantasy readers, writers, and anyone curious about storytelling craft and character stakes.
Then we go beyond the book.
Sai describes herself simply as:
“I'm just a woman with a dream and a pen.”
That becomes the doorway into a much more personal conversation about her journey as a writer, the relationship between creativity and healing, and how the stories we create can sometimes help us understand parts of ourselves.
