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 stick around for today’s story if you like mysterious magic, healers, and small spots of hope in dark times. It’s written by Kristin J. Dawson, who loves chocolate (don’t we all?), research (she might be losing me), English movies (now she’s in my husband’s territory), and reading science fiction and fantasy novels. Okay, she’s back where I can relate. She’s lived all over the US and even in England, but now she’s settled down in the Pacific Northwest, where I would argue they hog all the rain.
I’ll be narrating today’s story, but be sure to stick around to the end or check out today’s show notes to learn more about the author. For now, please enjoy The Thorn Raid by Kristin J. Dawson.

Kristin loves chocolate (*quality* chocolate, because … life is short!), research, English movies (especially with her mom or her sisters), and reading science fiction and fantasy novels (like Raye Wagner, Jeff Wheeler, Melissa Caruso, J.K. Rowling, Suzanne Collins, and … a thousand other great stories with fun characters and lots of tension!).
She was born in L.A., grew up in Utah, spent a short stint in Bristol, England, then ended up in the Pacific NorthWest. She’s been there ever since! But she mostly feels like a Utah girl that ended up living in a forest. And she loves it!
She published The Unchosen Series, which includes The Lilac Plague, The Rose Court, and The Canina Thorn.

Karyne Norton hasn’t found the key to time travel, immortality, or infinite lives, so she’s taking a break from nursing and photography to focus on raising four human beings while writing epic fantasy.
