    S4 E2 with Fantasy Author Abigail O'Bryan

    S4 E2 with Fantasy Author Abigail O'Bryan

    Abigail O’Bryan writes curses, adventures, and happily ever afters. When not writing, you can find her playing D&D with her friends (or plying them with experimental baked goods), trying to do entirely too much in her garden, and hanging out with her husband and two children in their century-old house in the shadow of the Wasatch Range. Iron Rose is her debut novel. 



    Iron Rose

    No Kiss Can Break This Curse

     

    A Grendel-like animal bent on overtaking the Beast's mind. A
    Beauty determined to dethrone a tyrant. The Tale as Old as Time as you've never experienced it before, perfect for fans of Brigid Kemmerer and Marissa Meyer.

     

    There is no future for Lydia Brightwood.



    The Crimson Lord, a tyrant bent on destroying Lydia’s country, made sure of that. Her only hope of a different life is to find the one person who could unite her country: a royal heir. There’s just one problem… 

    They’re all dead.

     

    The Beast’s humanity is slipping away. 



    Shut away from the world by a horrible secret, Adam watches the destruction of his homeland from the ruins of a fortress all the while holding the devastating truth in his chest: 

    It’s his fault.

     

    Fates interwoven, Adam and Lydia’s paths cross in the ruins of the north where they must find a way to conquer the curse before the country collapses—but being truly human has its price.

     

    A dark, lush, and triumphant reimagining of Beauty and the Beast, Iron Rose is perfect if you love daring escapes, bloody battles, deep family bonds, love overcoming the odds, and a touch of old magic.

    S3 E29 with Fantasy Author Tim Frankovich

    S3 E29 with Fantasy Author Tim Frankovich

    Tim Frankovich has been exploring fantastic worlds since third grade, when he cut up a grocery sack and drew a Godzilla-meets-superheroes story. Since then, he’s gotten a little bit better at the writing part (not so much with the drawing).

    His goal as a writer is to transport readers to another world, make them care deeply about characters in dire situations, and guide them deeper into life itself.

    At the moment, he is probably suitably conscious somewhere in Texas with his beloved wife, awesome kids, and a fool of a pup named Pippin.

    Find him and his books at https://timfrankovich.com/
