  • So excited for the reboot!

    Edit for the reboot.

    Just saw they had rebooted the podcast and I am so excited to go on a journey with Bayana, Robin, and Porsha.

    I loved their detailed review of the Potter verse and I am looking forward to discovering new fantasy stories with them.

    I am trying to read the current book with them and so far so excited to hear the newest episodes.

Until the Clock Strikes Midnight Interview with Alechia Dow

Until the Clock Strikes Midnight Interview with Alechia Dow
Q: When did the idea for this book come to you?
I have always wanted to do a story about a fairy godmother, and I wanted to do a black fairy who is just rainbow-colored and full of joy.
Until the Clock Strikes Midnight Interview with Alechia Dow
Q: Can you briefly tell us what Until the Clock Strikes Midnight is about?
It's a story about a fairy who helps people get their happily ever afters and an agent of misfortune who ensures people have ordinary ever afters, and they are competing against each other for a mentorship.
Dragonforged: Sword of the Champions with Eric Lide
Q: What made you want to write a story that explores the nuance of good versus evil?
It happened organically; I originally had a straightforward good vs evil narrative, but by developing the characters, I wanted to show that fiends are not solely evil.
