A mother by day and writer by spare moment, Amanda Auler is getting used to calling herself a Young Adult fantasy fiction author. At twenty-one she made a goal to be published by thirty and her debut novel, Daughter of the Sun, will launch precisely one year and two weeks before her thirtieth birthday. Inspired by Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson and Juliet Marillier (to name a few), Amanda writes stories that explore emotional growth and personal resilience. When she's not at her laptop, Amanda can be found roasting coffee in her garage (usually with a book in hand), improving her ASL fluency and trying to keep up with her three growing boys. She and her husband live in central North Carolina where they stay up too late watching Top Chef and eating fancy ramen. I see writing as work — and a work that I enjoy. — Amanda Auler Connect with Amanda on her website (authoramandaauler.com) and Instagram (@authoramandaauler) Mentioned in This Episode Daughter of the Sun | Amanda Auler Children of the Earth | Amanda Auler Suspended in the Stars | E.

Welcome back to episode 22 of the BookTok Book Club Podcast. Today we are talking about Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier with Serene Heiner @magicalbooknook We loved getting to know Serene and learning a little bit more about how she fell in love with books. Serene's parents are big bookworms, so it's no surprise that she has been reading for as long as she can remember.   And of course, we always get excited about new books. Join us today as we discuss Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier. Daughter of the Forest is a historical fantasy novel by Juliet Marillier first published in 1999. It is loosely based on the legend of the Children of Lir and "The Six Swans" (a story that has many versions, including one by the Brothers Grimm). A girl (Sorcha) must sew six shirts from a painful nettle plant in order to save her brothers from a witch's enchantment, remaining completely mute until the task is finished. Falling in love complicates her mission. Join us again next week and be sure to check out our previous episodes. Connect with us on Tiktok @cindygwrites, @cynthiagwrites and @aekingauthor

Amanda and Jenn discuss non-boring literary fiction, books set in Jamaica, unreliable narrators, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. Follow the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. This post contains affiliate links. When you buy through these links, Book Riot may earn a commission. Feedback Old Man’s War by John Scalzi (rec’d by Ericka) Questions 1. Hi Jenn and Amanda,  I set a challenge last year to read a book set in each state. I’ve read 23/52 (Don’t worry, I know there are 50 states, I’m counting DC and Puerto Rico). I wanted to wait to submit a question until I was closer to finishing, but I’ve hit a slump on this challenge. Could you recommend books with a strong sense of place set in any of the states I’ve listed? I’m open to most genres, but my favorites are: historical fiction, literary fiction, travel/food writing, and SFF (which is hard for this challenge). I love stories that focus on intergenerational families, coming of age, subcultures, and female protagonists. My favorites so far have been Molokai for Hawaii and The Seed Keeper for Minnesota (thanks for posting that on your IG, Jenn!!!). Please no graphic novels, middle grade, or horror.  Here’s my shelf for the challenge (you’ll see that you’ve already had a strong influence!) and here’s my overall Goodreads:  Alabama Arkansas Indiana Iowa Kansas Michigan Mississippi Missouri   Montana Nebraska Nevada Rhode Island South Dakota Tennessee  Wyoming  Thanks for keeping my TBR full and my library card active! I love the show and all the ways you’ve impacted my reading!  -Stephanie 2. Hi! I’ve recently realized a certain type of series I enjoy and am hoping for more suggestions. Two series I loved are the Sevenwaters series by Juliet Marillier and the Samaria series by Sharon Shinn – fantasy romance where each book tells its own complete story and the successive books in the series stay in the same world but with a new cast of characters of the next generation. It’s the opposite of ending a book on a cliffhanger (WHICH I HATE) so it really works for me. Also want the series to be complete so I can binge read the whole thing at once. No YA please. Thank you!! Other series I’ve read: All of Octavia Butler (mostly loved, especially Earthseed) Robin Hobb (too long omg but sign me for abridged version if that’s ever an option) The Broken Earth series (doesn’t quite have the generational thing I want, but really liked the writing) -Lindsey (She/her) 3. Hello.

In today's episode, we're discussing one of Hogan's favorite reads so far this year! This is a beautiful story of family love and sacrifices. Based on the fairytale "The Seven Swans" and smattered with fantastic Celtic lore, this is a must read for all fantasy lovers. We are also featuring our second half of Coffee Slingers delicious blends today. Ben prepared some awesome options for us, so let's all get ready for some tasty drinks, an exquisite book, and get started!

A Gay Christian’s Pilgrimage in Search if God in America by Jeff Chu, Unclobber by Colby Martin, and One Coin Found (rec’d by Amy) Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays vs. Christians Debate by Justin Lee (rec’d by Jessica)   Questions 1. I’m trying to read books from all around the world, and I’ve found books from most areas. One area I’m having trouble with, though, is Eastern Europe. I don’t want to get bogged down reading books from a hundred or more years ago, and would prefer more modern works. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks! -Erin 2. My nine year old daughter does not like to read most fiction or non-fiction books at all.  The only thing she enjoys are graphic novels; she has also recently gotten into anime.  Her favorites are Spirited Away (movie and graphic novels), and the Click series; she also enjoyed the first Sanity & Tallulah book.  Any recs you have to keep this flame going would be appreciated! -Lee 3. Hey guys! Hope you’re both doing well and staying safe during these crazy times. I apologize in advance for being so, so cheesy, but I’m desperate, sorry. With the pandemic STILL going on, I haven’t been able to see my girlfriend in ages and honestly I just need some reads to remind me of her, even if it does make me miss her even more. I’m not very versed in romance, so I have no idea where to start. I’m looking for w/w romances that are very sweet, without much angst or conflict, but with some steaminess. I’d particularly like for the love interest to be a shy/sweet/cinnamon role type of character.  -Celina 4. I realized that reading picture books to my four year old is the best part of my day every day now, and I’m leaning in to this. I’m maxing out my library checkouts and just using this time to read every book I ever wanted to to her. I’d like to recommend that everyone even non parents check out some picture books soon, as it’s often a satisfying mood changer for me. Please recommend lovely picture books for us listeners. -Brooke 5. Hi friends, As we continue to shelter-in-place my wanderlust is reaching peak levels… which is not aided by the end of a two-year relationship (with a fellow travel lover). I am feeling strongly about some sort of less-cliche version of an “Eat Pray Love” adventure to plan after quarantine as my 40th year approaches. I loved Nichol’s “No One Tells You This,” — would be interested in either a memoir or perhaps epic fiction with female protagonist. Epic, literary fiction set abroad that I’ve enjoyed include: Shantaram, A Fine Balance, House at the Edge of the Night, Beyond the Sky and the Earth: A Journey Into Bhutan….  Countries of interest include Italy (art history major here! but please no Cusk or Ferrante) or really, anywhere. Appreciate y’all! -Christine 6. Do you have any recommendations of fantasy novels that have older (30s-40s) female protagonists? Something like Blackthorn and Grim series by Juliet Marillier. -RV 5. Hi, I recently discovered this podcast and have really enjoyed it. Thanks for the great work! Shoutout to your “How to Be Yourself” recommendation – I read it and thought it was so helpful. I recently finished A Little Life, and I am kind of at a loss for what to read next. I was especially moved by how well I felt the author followed the characters across their lives and the general theme of tracing prior events and their ramifications across time. Do you have recommendations of fiction or non-fiction books that similarly capture these themes? I’d prefer one where the “across time” is happening in more recent years (similar to A Little Life) rather than far back in history although open to anything  Thanks! -EV Books Discussed Border by Kapka Kassabova The Black Dog of Fate by Peter Balakian, rec’d by Aram Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant by Tony Cliff Little Witch Academia by Yoh Yoshinari, Keisuke Sato, Trigger The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite Things Hoped For by Chencia C.

Imagining the Past’s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our fifth episode explores The Feminine Mystique.  Ensuring a female protagonist’s thoughts and actions remain true to the norms of by-gone eras and cultures causes headaches for writers – and readers. How does an author maintain immediacy if limited to second hand observations of male dominated history? Should women of the past be depicted with more power and influence than would have been afforded to them? And how do you treat a young heroine in an age where girls were restricted, and children expected to be ‘seen and not heard’? Sophie Masson  examined how to portray plausible female protagonists with Juliet Marillier, Elizabeth Jane Corbett and Kirsty Murray.

Synopsis, thoughts, and recommendations for the book Heart's Blood by Juliet Marillier. Spoiler alert: I loved it!

Episode 176: Fact vs Fiction - Blending the Real with the Fantastical in Historical Fiction   In many ways, good historical fiction ticks a lot of the boxes of good SFF. Readers become invested in richly imagined worlds which are unfamiliar enough to escapism but contain the seeds of their own experiences. Historical fiction also offers a number of other attractive benefits. This week, Jules and Madeleine take a look at what draws both readers and writers to hist fic. How can you make time periods that might as well be set on other worlds because they are so different to modern times, both authentic and accessible to modern audiences? How can you blend in meticulous research without info dumping? And how do you mingle historical fact with fantasy elements to enter one of the historical fiction sub genres? Drawing on their own work as well as examples by Phillipa Gregory, Hilary Mantel and Juliet Marillier, the dragons will lead you down the rabbit hole and back in time in this week's episode.   Title Music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

This week, we're diving into Indiegogo-sponsored content, with the first book of the Sevenwaters trilogy by Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest.

Episode 163: Into the Woods - Mythical, Magical and Malicious Forests in Speculative Fiction   Woods and forests are almost ubiquitous in fantasy novels, especially High Fantasy or Epic Fantasy. The forest as a conscious entity is an archetype in its own right, especially in Western type settings - understandably so since much of Europe and the UK was once forest. So where does this fascination with the forest come from in the modern day? How has it filtered its way into modern speculative fiction? This week the dragons go into the woods to find out. Under the microscope this week - Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier, Hexwood by Diana Wynne Jones, Lord of the Rings by J R R Tolkien, Once Upon a Time and many more.   Title Music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

Amanda and guest Mya Nunnally discuss mermaid literature, engrossing audiobooks, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by TBR , Smoke and Summons by Charlie N. Holmberg, and Lola. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, or Stitcher.   Questions 1. I teach 9th grade Honors English in Texas and am looking for a title to add to my novel unit for the spring semester. I currently have my classes choose between The Book Thief, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, and Ender’s Game. Ultimately I would like to find a book that hits a different level of interest for 15-16 year-olds, and can provide insight into a social issues research project that will close our unit. Preferably a book that is relatively similar in length to the other titles. Love your podcast and thanks in advance for your input, Melissa   2. I am looking for fiction for my wife, who is a huge fan of heist movies, soap opera-levels of drama, and sexually liberated female protagonists. She doesn’t read fiction for the most part, but her favorite media include Ocean’s 8, Ms. Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, and the Netflix show Cable Girls. Her academic specialization is refugee studies and the Middle East, so if there are any recommendations that take feature either, that would be fantastic. Thank you for your assistance in my overly narrow search. -Alex   3. A few years ago, I bought a copy of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan, brought it home, and placed it on the bookshelf in my bedroom. Much to my surprise, when I was trying to go to sleep that night, I realized it glows. (By the way, this book made it off my TBR list in record time because the glowing cover made it really difficult to ignore!) Maybe a year later, I came across Radioactive by Lauren Redniss, which is a visual biography of Marie and Pierre Curie. This book also glows. Ever since then, I have been on the lookout for more books that glow, but have been unsuccessful. I had high hopes for The Radium Girls by Kate Moore, but much to my disappointment, it does not. Do you know of any books that fit the bill?  I know this may be difficult, so in lieu of a luminescent read, I would also accept a book in which the reading experience goes beyond just words on the page. I’m thinking something along the lines of the “Miss Peregrine” series by Ransom Riggs which was inspired by old photographs and includes those photographs in the print edition. Another example is Echo by Pam Muñoz Ryan which encompasses multiple stories, including a fairytale. The fairytale pages are formatted differently than the rest of the book, music is woven throughout the book, and actual harmonica music is included at the beginning of each section. House of Leaves seems like it would work, but I’m a total scaredy cat and horror books are just not my thing. I like most genres (except horror), but tend to gravitate towards fantasy, historical fiction, and science nonfiction.  Thanks for your help! -Jessica   4. Hi Amanda and Jenn! I travel from NC to TN at least once a month and it’s eight hours both ways. I usually download an audiobook that’s either 8 hrs or a little more or 16 hrs so I can read one or two going to and from. I download from my Libby app to dull the boredom and lately, I’ve been listening to what seems like the same book over and over again. I recently listened to The Other Woman by Sandie Jones followed by The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins (I know I was late to that one). I’m just really not digging this rut of sad female English main characters in abusive relationships because it makes for a depressing drive! I think Amanda was the one who said she only listens to nonfiction on audio, and I’m okay with that (recently also listened to Hidden Figures & I’ll Be Gone In The Dark on audio as well) but it would have to be super engaging. Basically I just want a fun audiobook that has the potential to make me laugh out loud. Other audiobooks included YA reads like The Hate U Give; The Fault in Our Stars; Will Grayson, Will Grayson; The Cruel Prince. DNFed Fates and Furies because I’m weird about audiobook narrator voices. I’m interested in some fantasy/sci-fi if possible. My latest pick for this weekend is Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. I’ll take Audible reads but will be sad because I’m a poor library science grad student. -Tori   5. Hi! I’m trying to find some books for my 8 year old who reads at a 5th grade level. Most books in her age range bore her and trying to find more advanced books is tricky as she IS 8 so sometimes the subject matter can get a bit dicey. She really loves fantasy (HUGE Harry Potter fan!). She has specifically asked for books that are really thick and will take her awhile to read. Series books are a plus as she loves to really immerse herself in these characters and worlds. Thanks for your help! -Starla   6. Hi! I’m looking for read-a-likes of some favorite books but by authors of color. I don’t have a specific genre in mind that I’m requesting, so here’s a list of some favorites to give a sense of what I like, and you can choose your own adventure: Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye, The Rook by Daniel O’Malley, the Sevenwaters series by Juliet Marillier, the Lady Astronaut series by Mary Robinette Kowal, and the Murderbot series by Martha Wells. -Lindsey   7. Hi, I’m sure you’ve gotten questions about mermaid books before, but I’m hoping specifically for recommendations that are not YA but more literary with mermaid themes. I’ve loved books like Mermaid and Mrs. Hancock, or Alice Hoffman’s The Museum of Extraordinary Things. I’m a huge fan of Hoffman’s writing style even though (spoiler alert!) there was no real mermaid in the novel. I don’t necessarily need a romance element to enjoy the story, but it seems like all that’s out there is teen romance YA which is just not quite what I’m craving. If you have any recommendations at all for a richer, possibly mysterious read, I’d love to hear about it!! Thank you so much -Emily   Books Discussed The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas The Disturbed Girl’s Dictionary by NoNieqa Ramos One Good Earl Deserves a Lover by Sarah MacLean The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid S by JJ Abrams and Doug Dorst Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff Bad Blood by John Carreyrou Dread Nation by Justina Ireland Seraphina by Rachel Hartman Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor Zero Sum Game by S.L Huang The Black God’s Drums by P.

  Today’s Guest I'm back again, with another solo episode! Today's episode is inspired by my extensive year-end review that I've been doing. It started around Samhain, when I began reviewing the year and looking at the things I needed to let go of to move into 2019. I talked a bit about this and how you can do something similar in episode 275. I went through my old journals from the last year, and I pulled twelve oracle cards, one for each month of the new year. Then I found some journal prompts online for reviewing the year that I really enjoyed working through. Next, I dug even deeper as I reviewed the past year as it related to my work with the OBOD Bardic Grade course. As I've been going through old journals, reviewing what I wrote, I made some surprising discoveries. A lot of what I'm focusing now came up in my old journals as far back as a year ago! It's taken me the entire year to actually put into practice the ideas I had about my new focus, which really surprised me. It's made me reflect on how I can pay better attention to the signs on my path so I can become more aware of the shifts and changes I need to make in my life. This is very much a work in progress for me, and I thought it might be interesting and useful for you, too! Listen To This Episode      What You'll Learn How to recognize signs from the Universe/Spirit, your Higher Self, etc. How to actually pay attention to the signs so you can interpret their meaning Some specific types of signs you can look out for Why it's so important to be willing to see the truth, even if it's not what you want to hear Why you might want to record what you're seeing, so you can review it in the future Things I Discussed OBOD Bardic Grade course Weekly Messages West Kennet Long Barrow: Decoded and Orbed  Juliet Marillier's Daughter of the Forest and other books  Plant Spirit Healing Apprenticeship  Business Intuition book  Connect With Holly Website Facebook Instagram Twitter Pinterest Google+ LinkedIn  How to Subscribe Click here to subscribe via iTunes Click here to subscribe via RSS Click here to subscribe via Stitcher Help Spread the Word If you enjoyed this episode, please head on over to iTunes and kindly leave us a rating and a review!

Music, stories, and facts for Midsummer 2008 Always great to hear from you! Email garyandruth@celticmythpodshow.com, or call us using Speakpipe More resources over at our main Website at http://celticmythpodshow.com Show Summary: We celebrate the Midsummer Festival with a massive offering of goodies. So we've divided the episode into two parts. The first part contains a reading from The Religion of the Ancient Celts, another from a modern book called Fairy Healing, some music, and a story by Willie Meikle called The First Silkie. Running Order: Intro 0:40 News & Views 1:32 The Religion of the Ancient Celts by J.A. MacCulloch 7:08 Fairy Healing by Margie McArthur 10:01 Shimmering Wings by Gaelic Wind Project 15:02 The First Silkie by Willie Meikle 21:27 The Ladychant 31:15 The Summer Solstice 34:01 Outtakes 35:34 We hope you enjoy it! Gary & Ruthie x x x     News & Views We talk about Midsummer being celebrated on the 20th, 21st or 22nd of June. Midsummer is traditionally a time for fairies - although it is dangerous to visit the fairy world at this time! We talk about the Solstice and time that the sun appears to wobble in its 'apparent' orbit around the earth.    The Religion of the Ancient Celts by J. A. MacCulloch We select a passage concerning the Midsummer rituals from the Religions of the Ancient Celts by J. A. MacCulloch. This book, which appears for the first time on the Internet at Sacred Texts, is one of the earliest scholarly treatments of the ancient Celtic religion. Written early in the 20th Century, Religion of the Ancient Celts includes extensive treatment of that perennially fascinating subject, the Druids. MacCulloch details the Celtic belief in reincarnation and a spectral otherworld; documents the enormous pantheon of now-obscure gods and goddesses, including many local deities; and describes totemistic and animistic beliefs. In addition, MacCulloch does not flinch (nor sensationalize) when describing the darker side of Celtic practices, including the famous 'Burning Man' human sacrifices, cannibalism and exogamous incest.   Fairy Healing: the Lore and Legacy by Margie McArthur We then present a small section of a modern book about Fairy Healing: The Lore and Legacy written by Margie McArthur. The section we read is from Chapter 5: The Irish Traditions and tells us about the Fairy Doctor. Thank you to Margie for allowing us to read this for you. She has her home on the web at Brigid's Hearth where you can find out about this and her other books. She also runs a fairy healing website. Find out more about Margie McArthur in our Contributor pages.    Shimmering Wings by Gaelic Wind Project They hail from Essen, Germany. Yet the repertoire of Gaelic Wind Project consists of Irish traditional songs and tunes, but they also perform their own material. This Irish folk band consists of two female lead vocalists who are accompanied by Irish wooden flute, accordion, guitar, Irish bouzouki and percussion. Gaelic Wind Project is a nice addition to any Celtic music collection. "Our new song Shimmering Wings is inspired by Juliet Marillier´s novel Daughter of the Forest. Here you´ll find more information about the author and her books." You can find the Gaelic Wind Project on the web at their homesite (now sadly gone). You can also find them on CD Baby.   The First Silkie by Willie Meikle Willie Meikle is a Scottish Author who writes Fantasy and Horror Fiction and has eight books published. Many of his stories and books are set in Scotland and are weaved with Mythology and folklore. Willie has had 130 stories published in the genre press, both in paper and on-line magazines and his work has appeared in the UK, Ireland, the USA, India, Greece, Romania and Canada. He has graciously allowed us to present an except from his novel, The Midnight Eye Files: The Sirens and concerns the origins of the Silkie – a fey creature able to shift from seal to human form. The tale tells us of the origin of the Silkie which concerns Viking Gods, Bold Fishermen and a wager between Gods and Men. You can find out more about Willie and his work at his website or you can read more details about this fantastic author in our Contributor pages.   The Ladychant by Gary, Ruthie & friends With thanks to three young friends of ours, we present our very unprofessional (but fun!) version of the Chant of the Lady. A big Thank You to Stacey, Tania and Jessica. You can download this chant from us by clicking Ladychant. Lyrics Lady, spin your Circle bright, Weave your web of dark and light. Earth, Air, Fire and Water, Bind us as one. Maiden, spin your Circle white, Weave a web of shinning light. Stag and Hawk, Bear and Wolf, Bind us as one. Mother, spin your Circle red, Weave a web of glowing thread. Earth, Air, Fire and Water, Bind us as one. Wise one, spin your Circle black, Weave the wisdom that we lack.
