Hi, I'm indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, Catherine Witzaney is joining me to talk about her book, Wingless.
What's it about?
- In a world where everyone can fly, Asher is a wingless sprite orphaned at a young age. When his adopted sister falls deathly ill, he'll risk anything to save her - even striking a bargain with a mysterious bat sprite, a species he's been taught to never trust. His quest leads him into the heart of the bat colony, where he must rethink everything about himself and bat sprites.
- Wingless is a soaring middle-grade fantasy adventure filled with courage, danger, and self-discovery.
What's in this episode:
- Catherine Witzaney will whisk us into her captivating world with an excerpt from Wingless, spotlighting young Asher's plight.
- We'll discuss worldbuilding the contrasting societies of sprites and bat sprites and Asher's struggle with identity.
- We'll explore themes of prejudice, trust, and finding one's true self despite preconceptions.
- Join us in a world where the ability to fly is only outmatched by the power of opening one's mind and heart.
