Plenus Luna by Maseeha Seedat [Fairy Tale Retelling 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.

Today's story shows the darker side of Neverland with a unique Peter Pan origin story. It's written by Maseeha Seedat, who was born and raised in South Africa and is now a full-time student and part-time writer. Her writing ranges from the fun and whimsical to the dark and serious, most of the time settling somewhere in the middle. When she's not writing, Maseeha can be found surrounded by her family and friends or clawing her way toward a degree in physiotherapy.

Today's narrator is Paeter Frandsen, host of Christian Geek Central. Stick around to the end or check out today's show notes to see where you can find more from both the author and the narrator, as well as how to enter our fantasy retellings audiobook giveaway.

For now, please enjoy Plenus Luna by Maseeha Seedat.

Karyne (00:34:06) - I hope you enjoyed listening to Plenus Luna by Maseeha Seedat, narrated by Paeter Frandsen of Christian Geek Central. If you want to read more by Maseeha, your best bet is to follow her on Instagram @sincerelymaseeha , but you can also find her website at sincerelymaseeha.weebly.com to find more of her books.

This particular story is from The Never Tales Anthology, Volume 1, and yes, there is a Volume 2, so if you want a continuation of Maseeha's version of Peter Pan and Hook, you'll want to check that out. I'll have links for both of her sites and the book in the show notes.

If you enjoyed listening to Paeter narrate the story, you might also enjoy listening to his audio dramas at spiritblade.com or his podcast, Christian Geek Central, where he discusses movies, video games, and all things enjoyed by self-proclaimed geeks from a Christian worldview.

This month we are featuring fairy tale retellings because I thought it would be fun to have them alongside our fantasy retelling giveaway. You have until the end of this month to enter to win a three-month audible subscription plus four fantasy retelling audiobooks, so head on over to findingfantasyreads.com/giveaway to enter.

If you enjoyed this story, please consider sharing it with a friend, preferably a friend who would also enjoy this story. There are links in the show notes to make that as easy as possible for you.

Thank you all for listening and happy reading!
