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 listen to today’s episode if you like stories about friendship, sacrifices, and hard lessons. It reads like an older fairy tale full of moral instruction, but with some modern humor and snark. It’s written by Jill Williamson, who grew up in Alaska, staying up and reading by the summer daylight that wouldn’t go away. Her debut novel, By Darkness Hid, won several awards and was named a Best Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Novel of 2009 by the Voice of Youth Advocates magazine. She has since written over 30 books and is most recently a producer of films, working closely with her writer/director husband and other creatives in the Pacific Northwest.
