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 rich with culture and magic, and it’s perfect for those of you who love horses. I had the honor of meeting the author, Gillian Bronte Adams, at the Realm Makers’ Conference in July, where I immediately signed up for her newsletter to get this story. Gillian writes epic fantasy novels, including the award winning A Fire in Ash and The Songkeeper Chronicles.

She loves strong coffee, desert hikes, and trying out new soup recipes on crisp fall nights. I found that combination oddly fascinating because in the desert I live in, we don’t get many crisp fall nights. And we don’t eat soup very often. Her favorite books are the ones that make your heart ache and sore in turn. When she’s not creating vibrant new worlds or dreaming up stories that ring with the echoes of eternity, she can be found off chasing sunsets with her horse or her dog, Took.

I absolutely love that she combined her love of horses with her love of fantasy for her series. Today’s narrator is Paeter Frandsen, host of Christian Geek Central. Stick around to the end or check out today’s show notes to see where you can find more from both the author and the narrator, as well as how to enter our giveaway.

For now, please enjoy Of Shadow and Rust by Gillian Bronte Adams.

Paeter (00:01:39) –  Of Shadow and Rust is read by Paeter Frandsen. Due to copyright, the full transcript of the story cannot be included here. Please go to https://www.gillianbronteadams.com to get your free ebook copy of the short story.

Karyne (01:01:36) I hope you enjoyed listening to Of Shadow and Rust by Gillian Bronte Adams, narrated by Paeter Frandsen of Christian Geek Central. If you want to read more by Gillian, go to GillianBronteAdams.com to find more of her books. The short story you just heard ties directly to her series, The Fire Born Epic, published by Enclave Publishing.

The first book in the series is called Of Fire and Ash, and that’s available now. The second book is called Of Sea and Smoke, and that comes out on November 21st. So you can pre-order it, read the first book while you wait, and then have it show up as a nice little Thanksgiving gift. Well, if you’re American, but who needs a holiday to get yourself a little gift?

If you enjoyed listening to Paeter narrate the story, you might also enjoy listening to his podcast, Christian Geek Central, where he discusses movies, video games, and all things enjoyed by self proclaimed geeks from a Christian worldview. We have a brand new giveaway up on the website, but instead of being available for just this month, it carries over into the first couple weeks of December, so I’m calling it our Holiday Giveaway.

Gillian has offered up a signed paperback copy of Of Fire and Ash, plus a bookmark and map print, so you’ll want to head over to FindingFantasyReads.com/giveaway to enter. I promise I’ve made it as easy as possible. As always, I will have links for all of those sites in the show notes.

Thank you all for listening, and happy reading.
