W.R. Gingell is a prolific fantasy author with 56 books spread across eleven series. The City Between is the longest-running of these, following a character navigating a world layered between the mundane and the magical across fourteen entries starting with Between Jobs (2018). The series has a loyal readership, and its mix of humor and urban fantasy keeps it distinct from standard genre fare.

Fairy tale retellings run through much of Gingell’s work. The Two Monarchies Sequence reworks classic stories like Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast, while the Villain’s Ever After series flips twelve different tales to give the antagonist center stage. The Shards of a Broken Sword trilogy and the newer Shattered World series lean more toward traditional epic fantasy.

With new entries still coming out in 2025 and 2026, Gingell writes at a quick pace. Readers who enjoy fantasy that plays with familiar story structures will find plenty to work through here.
