Link: : C. DEAN ANDERSSON TRIBUTE INTERVIEW AND TOUR GUIDE OF HEL: BLOODSONG AND FREEDOM!
July 5th, 2021 marked the passing of CDean Andersson (a.k.a, Asa Drake). Christopher Fulbright (author, a journalist turned technical writer, and owner/webmaster of Realms of Night) posted a moving tribute this month online.
Andersson had his fame with both horror fans and the fantasy crowd for his Sword & Sorcery heroine Bloodsong.
This Black Gate post honors him by combining a review of his Bloodsong Saga (a.k.a. Hel Series) with a reposting of a 2014 interview regarding his creative process (with 3x illustrations he made to complement his written art, shared below).
We may never see the fourth installment (Valkyries in Hel)...sigh. Peace to C. Dean Andersson.

More to come on this (a possible tribute group-read of the Bloodsong/Hel trilogy too.).
I interviewed him in 2014, and his website has featured it ever since.
Terry Ervin II also had a featured interview there.

I'm targeting a reposting of my 2014 interview on Black Gate soon with some added context.
For now, let us modify his warcry in his honor: "Andersson, Bloodsong and Freedom!"
