Who am I?
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. Her debut novel, Blood of the Stars, launched on Kickstarter in September 2023 and comes to retailers March 2024. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, which is why she’s also the host of the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast, where she and her brother read a new short story every week from a variety of fantasy authors. Check it out to find your next favorite author! As both a fantasy author and reader, I'm always on the lookout for fantastic fantasy worlds, stories, and authors.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
Finding Fantasy Reads is for ravenous readers who are eager to find their next favorite character, series, or world by sampling clean fantasy short stories from a variety of authors. Each week I pick a new fantasy short story to share so you can test out a new author and their world. My goal is to connect readers to authors and vice versa. Fantasy readers can use this podcast as a tool to find new fantastic fantasy authors to try out.
What is my podcast playlist about?
These podcasts all center around sharing stories. I tried to find podcasts that narrate stories instead of interviewing authors, because as readers I think we care more about how the stories resonate with us than we do about whether an author drinks coffee or tea.
