The Thorn Raid by Kristin J. Dawson

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.

Karyne (01:02:11) - I hope you enjoyed listening to The Thorn Raid by Kristin J. Dawson, narrated by Karyne Norton. If you want to read more by Kristin, go to kristinjdawson.com to find more of her books. The Thorn Raid is the prequel to The Unchosen Trilogy, and the entire series is getting new covers this month, so be sure to check out the gorgeous artwork. You can also download the omnibus online, which includes special character artwork and an extended epilogue.

If you haven't already signed up for the Finding Fantasy Reads newsletter, you'll want to do that. Every week you get an email letting you know what episode has been added, but I also include links to deals on audiobooks, new releases, and freebies from our featured authors, as well as anything else that I think might interest someone who enjoys fantasy audiobooks and short stories. The link for all those sites will be in the show notes.

Thank you all for listening, and happy reading.
