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.
Last week you heard the first part of Merrily, Merrily by Jennifer Kropf, and I’m eager to share the rest with you. Jennifer is a best selling author of Christian fantasy. She’s most well known for her Winter Soul series, and A Soul as Cold as Frost was written with the intention of encouraging parents to read to their children before bed each night during the holidays. This story is a little bit grittier, and we left off with a mysterious prisoner and an unknown deal between Zane and an octosiren.
If you haven’t already listened to the first episode, you’ll want to go back and do that now. 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. For now, please enjoy Merrily, Merrily, Part 2.
Paeter (00:01:18) – Merrily, Merrily is read by Paeter Frandsen. Due to copyright, the full transcript of the story cannot be included here.
Karyne (00:41:29) – I hope you enjoyed listening to the rest of Merrily, Merrily by Jennifer Kropf, narrated by Paeter Frandsen of Christian Geek Central. If you want to read more by Jennifer, go to jenniferkropf.com to find more of her books. Her latest release is Welcome to Fae Cafe, and it’s the first in her new series High Court of the Coffee Bean, which sounds like a perfectly cozy series, which is a newish genre that I find fascinating. I hope to feature some cozy fantasy in the coming weeks.
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.

Featured Author
Jennifer Kropf is the author of The Winter Souls Series, including A Soul as Cold as Frost, the #1 Best Seller in Christian Fantasy that’s available all around the world.
Jennifer graduated from college for marketing, but figured out pretty quick that getting a day job in marketing wasn’t going to satisfy her book-hunger in the slightest. So, as soon as she started having kids, she began to rewrite her debut novel and form the tale that eventually turned into the Winter Souls Series.
She is married with three kids, lives amidst lush Ontario farmland, and she attends a fabulous church that’s intent on showing the love of God to the community.
Her favourite authors are C.S. Lewis for the life he lived and his passion for God and writing, and J.M. Barrie for introducing her to Peter Pan and Neverland, Stephanie Garber for giving her the Caraval experience, and also Marissa Meyer, Adrienne Young, and Marie Lu for writing books she couldn’t put down.
A Soul as Cold as Frost was written with the intention of encouraging parents to read to their kids before bed each night during the holidays, as she plans to do just that with her own kids each year.
Here’s where you can get another free short story from Jennifer: A Blend of Harmonies.
