In this issue, Novelist Post sits down with K.A. Griffin to explore the origins of The Accidental World, the intricacies of world-building, and the emotional journey behind his writing. This conversation offers a rare window into the mind of a storyteller whose work challenges genre conventi- ons while remaining accessible to readers of all ages.
.A. Griffin crafts stories with the precision of a strategist and the soul of a dreamer. Best known for The Accidental World series, Griffin invites readers into a universe unbound by prejudice and division, where
ordinary people rise to heroism through love, sacrifice, and sheer will. His writing is immersive, emotionally resonant, and daringly imaginative—anchored by the same clarity and foresight that shaped his previous career in corporate leadership.
Griffin’s prose is sharp and intelligent, his characters deeply human. His ability to weave moral complexity into fantasy storytelling sets him apart, grounding otherworldly adventures in the raw, lived truths of our own world. With a background that spans business warfare to backyard treetop daydreams, Griffin writes not only from skill but from a life fully lived—one marked by personal loss, transformation, and newfound joy.
