Since Raf first made his appearance as an original character in a Witcher fanfic I wrote about two years ago.

Had you always planned on writing his story? So, I’ll start by just thanking her for doing this interview and giving me the incredible opportunities to read her stories. I was especially thankful to get to hear more from Halli. It was absolutely a joy to read about Raf and his journey after meeting him in AMFF. If you’ve been following my reviews you will know that I adored A Brighter, Darker Art (ABDA) and Ask Me For Fire (AMFF). She can be found on Instagram, Twitter, and at her website: She is available for podcasts, interviews, panels, and book signings. When not writing, she co-hosts The Human Exception podcast, plays D&D, and spends time in the beautiful outdoors of Michigan. Halli has always been involved with books, and her love of the written word inspired her to get her MLIS and continue her book career outside of public libraries. Halli Starling is queer librarian, reader, gamer, and author.

But working with someone you’re attracted to is harder than either Raf or Silvan realized, so they make a deal. Raf desperately needs a marketing manager to help him get the newest of his galleries open and to make the opening perfect so that the illustrations entrusted to him by his best friend, Ambrose and Ambrose’s boyfriend, Barrett are prefectly highlighted. The book follows Raf as he has a chance meeting with Silvan in a bar, only to find out that Silvan has been recently let go. A Brighter, Darker Art is the companion novel to Ask Me For Fire, following Raf who we meet in Ask Me For Fire, and Silvan.
