Sharni's Rider by Kez Sharrow [YA Fantasy]

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 sea dragons, competitions, and rooting for the underdog. It's written by Kez Sherrow, who belongs to the tribe of the uprooted and transplanted, those who live between cultures. And because of that, she writes stories of travelers and fantasy worlds. By day, she dabbles in the alchemy of human transformation as a leadership coach in Wuhan. Early mornings and weekends, she creates worlds out of smoke and dragon's breath.

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. For now, please enjoy Sharni's Rider by Kez Sherrow.

Karyne (00:38:03) - I hope you enjoyed listening to Sharni's Rider by Kez Sharrow, narrated by Paeter Frandsen of Christian Geek Central. If you want to read more by Kez, go to kezsharrow.com to find more of her books. If you enjoyed this story in particular, you can snag a free ebook copy of it on her website, but you can also catch up with Blake and Sharni twenty-five years later in her debut novel, Dragon Ripples.

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.

Have you shared the podcast with a fantasy-loving friend yet? If not, you're not much of a friend. That sounded good when I wrote it out to say it, but now it sounds super mean. But the point is, we have over 100 episodes full of fantasy stories, and a good friend would share that with other readers in their life. I have links in the show notes to make sharing easy, and I'll also have links for all the other sites I mentioned.

Thanks so much for listening, and happy reading!
