King of Realms with Britt Asher
I reached out to todays special guest after reading the
first book of her King of Realms series as part of the Hidden Gems ARC reader
program. I fell in love with her dynamic characters and the fantasy world so
much that I invited Brit Asher to share the story behind this series. Join us as
we talk all things fantasy for middle grade readers and their families. Don’t
forget to have your journal or notebook handy, because there are some golden
nuggets about publishing and marketing you writers will want to take advantage
of.
Britt lives in the frigid wasteland known as Minnesota.
While she hates the cold and snow, she appreciates the nice summers, the lack
of lethal creepy crawlies, and the pretty forests and lakes. Outside of
writing, she loves reading, high-speed walking, and high-speed walking while
reading--yes, that’s a thing, and no, she hasn’t accidentally walked off a
cliff (yet). One of her favorite places is Japan, where she lived for nearly
three years and ate far too many sweet potatoes.
Britt’s featured book is King of Realms.
Varric has two weeks left to live. That’s the least of
his problems.
Twelve-year-old
Varric wants nothing more than to save his mom’s life. After all, it’s his
fault she’s dying.
But
when he breaks into a castle to steal a magical relic that might save her, the
relic is stolen right out from under his nose. Even worse, he’s arrested for
the theft. Unless he can find and return the missing relic within two weeks,
he’ll be executed by a magical explosive on his wrist.
As
if that weren’t bad enough, Varric discovers that the relic is actually a key
to an ancient prison containing a malicious and powerful creature. Varric’s
quest to save himself and his mom turns into a race to keep the prison locked
and save all of humanity from destruction.

The Role of Love with Paul Zolman
In today’s episode, my special guest describes the tool he created
to teach children and adults to love one another as God loves us. Be journal to
have your journal handy as you listen to this interesting conversation, because
he shares a unique approach to outlining your book for plotters and plantsers
alike.
Paul Zolman is the international
bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In
His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find
our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies me to speak about love? My
childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and
the distaste it formed inside me, I searched for and eventually created a
method that transformed my life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a
family of abuse, physical touch became my preferred love style, only because of
the regularity. I could almost count on it. It was consistent. I came to think
that was the way to express love. But deep inside, I knew that was a twisted
belief. I wanted a better life for myself, which is why I created a paradigm
shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped me move from a
childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find
good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love. I hope
you join me.
