From Outlaw to Author: A Conversation with Lee Hall.

Author: Christopher Aggett April 6, 2025 Duration: 1:00:30
It’s not often you get to speak with someone who has mastered the art of storytelling across books, blogs, and the stage. That’s exactly what we got with Lee Hall, a multi-talented indie author whose latest release, Last Outlaw, is a genre-bending ride through the Wild West with a horror twist.Set at the turn of the 20th century, Last Outlaw follows aging gunslinger John Arthur and his adopted daughter Bethany ‘The Blade’ Mason as they reunite with an old friend for one last job. But the small, strange town of Haddington has other plans. What begins as a heist quickly unravels into a chilling fight for survival, where nothing is as it seems.In our latest episode of The Writing Community Chat Show, Lee opens up about the creative process behind Last Outlaw, the deeper themes in his work, and how personal experience and classic influences—from Stephen King to Buffy the Vampire Slayer—inform everything he writes.But Lee is more than just a novelist. With a background in performance, a portfolio of pantomimes, and a blog packed with writing advice, he's a constant source of inspiration and support for other creatives. His passion for the indie author community shines through in everything he does, from reviews to tutorials and his growing Patreon.🎥 Watch the Interview👉 Please consider liking this video on YouTube and leaving a comment.
