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.

You’ll want to stick around for today’s story if you like stories that explore the darker side of mermaids. It’s written by Kimberly Grymes, who enjoys piling too many projects on her plate and then complaining to her husband that there’s not enough time in the day. And then he politely reminds her that she does this because she loves her job and loves connecting with so many wonderful readers and writers. She enjoys spending the little spare time she has with her husband, three kids, and their two mini-pins, Jubilee and Cori. Our family sticks with hypoallergenic dogs, so I’m sadly not familiar enough with dog breeds, and I had to look that one up. I didn’t even know there were miniature pinchers, let alone that they were called mini-pins. But the pictures were very cute.

Stick around to the end or check out today’s show notes to see where you can find more from Kimberly. For now, please enjoy Glace Noir by Kimberly Grymes.

Kimberly Grymes

Kimberly Grymes enjoys writing fantasy stories. She also enjoys piling too many projects on her plate and then complaining to her husband there’s not enough time in the day. Then he politely reminds her that she does this because she loves her job and loves connecting with so many wonderful readers and writers.

In her spare time, the little she has, she enjoys spending it with her husband, three kids, and their two min-pins, Jubilee and Cori. Family time is all about flipping board games, watching John Wick movies over and over again, and eating as much chocolate as we can (even though Kimberly prefers bread over chocolate).

Paeter Frandsen

Karyne Norton hasn’t found the key to time travel, immortality, or infinite lives, so she’s taking a break from nursing and photography to focus on raising four human beings while writing epic fantasy
