from Angie and Christie Write Now! · host AngieandChristieWriteNow

Welcome back to Charlotte Bennardo, an author who continues to surprise and inspire us with her genre-hopping creativity and imagination! Charlotte writes stories that travel through time, twist through fantasy, and occasionally flirt with the dark and romantic. From her award-winning Evolution Revolution trilogy to co-authoring the fabulously fun Sirenz series, Charlotte has never shied away from building bold, immersive worlds. Case in point, her short fiction spans from horror to heartwarming, and includes contributions to anthologies like Beware the Little White Rabbit and Scare Me to Sleep.But today, she’s joining us to talk about her newest fantasy novel, The Excalibur Vow, where a blacksmith’s impossible mistake, breaking Excalibur, launches a time-traveling quest to restore both the sword and the lost heir. Join us as we catch up with Charlotte's latest projects, the sparks that fuel her writing, and what it’s like to return to a world of ancient magic and modern-day storytelling.
