Epic Fantasy Adventures, Books, Lore, and More!

Melinda Kucsera

I am Melinda Kucsera, an indie fantasy author, and I narrate chapters from my adventure books, talk about fantasy books with fantasy authors and try my best not to get derailed by the shenanigans of characters who are supposed to be fictional, but they don"t stay within the pages of my books. I tell all their secrets and what trouble they get into in between books, and I try to get other fantasy authors to give away spoilers about their books.
