Inspirational Indie Author Interview #116. Guy Windsor: 'The Sword Guy' Carves His Niche as an Indie Author

My guest this episode is Guy Windsor, who is also known as "The Sword Guy." He has taken his love for a very niche topic, which is researching medieval and Renaissance sword-fighting techniques and turned it into a successful career through books, online courses and crowdfunding campaigns. It's a model that other indie authors could follow.
