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.
Today’s story has such a unique flair. The moment I started reading it, I knew I was going to ask the author if I could share it. I mean, how often do you find stories about giants? And how often do you find stories about sphinxes? Today you get both, along with a really sweet hint of romance that makes you root for this poor underdog of a giant. It’s written by Kristi Simonson, who owns thelionscall.com, an older than Google Narnia fan site, as well as squeakycleanreviews.com, which offers book reviews from a Christian perspective. She lives in California, where she divides her time between raising her kids, writing, web development, and the painting and crafting of beautiful trifles from other worlds.
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 The Courtship of Giants by Kristi Simonson.
