Cinders by Kendra E. Ardnek [Romantic Fantasy Short Story]

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 fairy tale retellings with a bit of snark. It's written by Kendra E. Ardnek, the self-proclaimed arista of fairy tales. With dozens of short stories and books under her belt, I think it's a fair title. She recently got married and moved across the state, so she's currently figuring out her own happily ever after. And while much of her life is changing, I would bet she's still knitting, crocheting, and most definitely writing.

Stick around to the end or check out today's show notes to see where you can find more from Kendra, as well as how to enter our giveaway before it ends. For now, please enjoy Cinders by Kendra E. Ardnek.
