ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Wizard's Brew: "January is weird, let's make it weirder."
It's 2025 and things that we are doing this year is finding joy wherever it may take us. Be it different genres, subgenres, or formats...altogether 2025 is the year ACOFAE leaves no stone unturned in the search for joy. So that should explain why Laura Marie and Jessica Marie find themselves in a crime procedural. No really, CRIME! Think 1920's crime noir with gnomes. And werewolves. Maybe some shapeshifters. Throw in a little magic and add a magical institute with fae objects and you've got a story; add in murder and you've got The Wizard's Brew. Potion making is the name of the game for a poor chap who just wants to do right by his wife, until MURDER. Enter in our detective, his pal, and we're off following the clues and going where the case takes no matter what. Oh and our detective is a man.
What's a man doing here?!

190. Spark of the Everflame: "Denial with a capital D."
1 RecommendationsACOFAEPodcast Presents: Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole: "Denial with a capital D."
The wonderful thing about fantasy is that it's an escape. Sometimes an escape from reality is so needed that Laura Marie and Jessica Marie change up the recording schedule to accommodate Spark of the Everflame. Diem is and isn't like other girls and her world is one of division, gods, and magic. When the old king dies, Diem is thrust into a world of rebels and violence that has her questioning her loyalties to herself, her best friend/lover, and her family. Good stuff. Oh and there's a handsome prince of course. Jessica Marie is swooning and Laura Marie is gushing in book 1 of the Kindred’s Curse Saga.
