Realm of Sea Castles by Kelly N. Jane

Karyne (00:00:07) - Hi fantasy readers. This is Karyne Norton, your fellow book binger, and you are listening to the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast where you can test out a new fantasy story every single week to find your next favorite author. You'll want to stick around for today's episode if you like stories on the high seas mixed with mermaids and mayhem. It's written by Kelly N. Jane, who writes fantasy with characters who wear a crown, wield a sword, and follow epic adventures. Then she stirs in some ancient mythology with a splash of romantic fairytale magic. Today you get both my brother and me as narrators because it's told from a dual point of view. Stick around at the end or check out today's show notes to see where you can find more from the author, as well as how to enter this month's giveaway.

Last but not least, I want to give a special shout out to my sister-in-law, Holly, this month. She has been a huge supporter of Paeter and me getting this podcast off the ground, and not just because she's obligated to as his wife and my sister-in-law. She has faithfully listened to every episode for me to catch any editing errors. I think she's even listened to a couple twice. You should be thankful to her, too, because she catches a lot, whether it's duplicate lines or terrible mispronunciations because, you guys, I learned my vocabulary from reading, not talking, so I don't know how to pronounce half of the unusual words or really even the normal ones. It's embarrassing. Anyway, thank you, Holly, for all that you do. For the rest of you. If you missed any of the links, they will be in the show notes. Thank you all for listening and happy reading.
