Jeff Wheeler is a Wall Street Journal bestselling author with over 30 epic fantasy novels, including The King Fountain and Muirwood series. He’s known for having clean, compelling fantasy with strong moral protagonists, complex characters, and richly detailed worlds. This particular story is connected to his Muirwood series, so be prepared to hop online after listening so you can find and binge the rest of it.

Karyne (00:34:24) – I hope you enjoyed listening to The Hunter of Muirwood by Jeff Wheeler, narrated by Paeter Frandsen of Christian Geek Central. If you want to read more by Jeff, go to jeff-wheeler.com to find more of his books. While you’re there, sign up for his newsletter, which has some additional freebies for you to snag. I especially loved the bonus chapters for his newest series, The Invisible College. Those chapters sucked me into his newest world, and I immediately bought the first book in the series.
If you enjoyed listening to Paeter narrate the story, you might also enjoy listening to his audio dramas at spiritblade.com or his podcast, Christian Geek Central, where he discusses movies, video games, and all things enjoyed by self-proclaimed geeks from a Christian worldview.
If you haven’t already entered this month’s giveaway with prizes from our featured authors, make sure you do that. There’s just a few days left. You’ll find it at findingfantasyreads.com/giveaway.
But I also want to make sure you all take the time to vote for your favorite Finding Fantasy Reads stories from this season. Last year, I had just a few simple categories, and I made you all vote for your favorite story out of all of them, which was near impossible with so many episodes. This year, I’ve broken it down into categories to hopefully make it a little easier for you. You don’t have to vote in every category, but take a look at each one, and if one of the stories stands out as one you remember enjoying, vote for it. Paeter and I will also be choosing our favorite ones to narrate, and I’ll be looking at stats to determine which episode was most popular.
But if you want to have a say in the listener awards, you’ll want to go to findingfantasyreads.com/vote to get your vote in. I’ll leave the voting open for one week, and then about a week after that, I’ll announce the winners in a short bonus episode. Otherwise, this is my farewell for the summer, because I take June and July off to spend that time with my kids. I hope you have a wonderful summer filled with lots of fantastic books.
Thank you all for listening, and happy reading.
