Fantasy, Lore, & More: The Forgotten Beast

Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode Freya Victoria is joining me to talk about her book, The Forgotten Beast. What’s it about?  A modern day woman gets transported to a fantastical prison world in this Beauty and the Beast retelling. The Forgotten Beast is a character-driven, slow burn fantasy romance. Set in a magical prison world, The Forgotten Beast puts a fresh spin on the classic Beauty and the Beast tale. What’s in this episode: Freya Victoria will transport us to a world of beasts and prisons with an excerpt from The Forgotten Beast, and we’ll explore the magical elements of that fairy tale world. We’ll find out what twists are in store for this retelling and get some spoiler-free highlights. We’ll discuss Callie's journey from stumbling upon a magical journal to trying to save the beast's kingdom. Join us in a place where fairy tales come to life, and love awaits around every corner.

I write epic fantasy adventures about families and magical creatures who’re just trying to survive in a world that hates and fears magic but is steeped in it. My books are full of magic and mayhem, but somehow, even the darkest adventure always ends well. ⁠⁠⁠Join me⁠⁠⁠ every week for a new story. What series do I write? ⁠⁠The Curse Breaker series⁠⁠ chronicles the adventures of a reluctant mage (Sarn), his son, as they fight to save their underground city from monsters, ancient evils, and a variety of magical threats. ⁠⁠The His Angelic Keeper series⁠⁠ follows a ghost girl who just wants to save her still-living family, not stop a demon invasion or the literal apocalypse, but she’ll do that too if she must. ⁠⁠The Robin of Larkspur series⁠⁠ follows Robin, a woman who just wants to save her daughter from the mythical creatures that kidnapped her baby. ⁠⁠The Divergent Heroes series⁠⁠ is supposed to star two knights who are partially disabled but a younger version of Sarn keeps stealing the scenes. ⁠⁠The Curse Breaker’s Companion⁠⁠ series which includes side quests, wacky what ifs, and stories from my newsletter of Sarn and his family in our world because they won’t stay inside the epic fantasy books they star in. The ⁠⁠Rogue Gods Trilogy⁠⁠ follows an ex-war god, a witch, and a fallen angel as they fight to save the world from a demon invasion and set the future back on the right course. ⁠⁠Follow the Rogue Gods Kickstarter Campaign⁠⁠.
