About This Podcast

I invite fantasy readers into new worlds with empowering, wild stories. Readers of all kinds discover inspiring perspectives when they read the Raashan Series and the Lost Beacon Chronicles that will help enrich your dreams. I am a fantasy author, designer, podcaster, Bookfest Bellweather, and all around silly person. Romantic subplots are a staple in my writing, especially in my Raashan Series. Won't you come into my world?
