Happy Wednesday, one and all! I just had to get one more podcast out before Wyrd and Wonder comes to a close. Today I picked up a story recommended to me by another fantasy fiction fan: Joust by Mercedes Lackey.
Let’s take a sip together to taste not just the world but the language of this fascinating read. If the embedded link recording is not showing up, you can click here to access the podcast site.
If you’d like to recommend a read for the podcast, let me know in the comments below! I’ve been hunting down some intriguing fantasy fiction tied to Pride Month, and there’s a classic Juneteenth novel I’m excited to try, too. As always, I’d welcome reading any indie authors’ stories as well. x
Read on, share on, and write on, my friends!

I’ve never read Joust but I’ve really enjoyed a lot of Mercedes Lackey’s Heralds of Valdemar series!

Very enjoyable Jean, you have a wonderfully expressive voice coupled with a sharp eye for detail in Writing and how it relates to what an author is creating by their use of language.

I am so sorry that I forgot to revisit you’re recent posts, Ms Lee. I put then aside in order to listen to your podcasts, then as only an Old Fool could do, I forgot. The curse of age be upon me! I shall make amends, rest assured.

Oh, don’t fret, my friend. I’m woefully behind on all counts, but with a slightly lighter teaching schedule this summer, I hope to also make some amends. 🙂 We co our best, right?
