full transcript
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.
Today’s story is another take on mermaids with found family, mystery, and a unique world. It’s written by Rachel A. Greco, who dreams of being a dragon, but has settled instead for being an author and freelance editor, which is almost as fun. Her stories feature broken characters and beautiful endings in fantastical worlds, and several of her shorts have been published in Leading Edge magazine as well as other publications. When not writing, she can be found reading, kayaking, or dancing with elves in the forests of her North Carolina home. To find out more about Rachel and her books, as well as our newest giveaway, stick around in the end or check out today’s show notes.
For now, please enjoy Beyond the Shimmer by Rachel A. Greco.
