Fantasy, Lore, & More: Courageous Women & Warring Gods

Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode Charlotte Langtree is joining me to talk about her book, Fractured: Tales of Flame and Fury.

What’s it about?

  • Fractured: Tales of Flame and Fury is a fantasy short story collection that explores darkness across mystical worlds. It features tales of powerful magic, courageous women, warring gods, and ancient dragons stirring.

  • Fractured: Tales of Flame and Fury is a character-driven fantasy collection.

  • Set in fractured magical realms created by Charlotte Langtree, Fractured is an action-packed fantasy short story collection.

What’s in this episode:

  • Charlotte Langtree will transport us to fractured worlds where darkness reigns, magic is potent, and brave women rise up, with excerpts from Fractured. We'll explore mystical realms, warring gods, and ancient myths.

  • We'll find out what connects these tales of flame and fury and maybe get some spoiler-free story highlights.

  • We'll discuss the women who resist, rage, and bring light to the darkness throughout each mystical story.

  • Join us in fractured worlds where hope seems lost, and discover who will resist the coming ruin.

About your host, Melinda Kucsera:

I am Melinda Kucsera, an indie fantasy author who wrote and published 20+ books since 2016 across 5 series. I write epic fantasy adventures about families and magical creatures who’re just trying to survive in a world that hates and fears magic but is steeped in it.

My books are full of magic and mayhem, but somehow, even the darkest adventure always ends well. ⁠Join me⁠ every week for a new story.

What series do I write?

  • The Curse Breaker series chronicles the adventures of a reluctant mage (Sarn), his son, and the magical creatures they befriend as they fight to save their underground city from monsters, ancient evils, and a variety of magical threats.

  • The His Angelic Keeper series follows a ghost girl who just wants to save her still-living family, not stop a demon invasion or the literal apocalypse, but she’ll do that too if she must. (This is a humorous series that stars Sarn’s twin sister from the Curse Breaker series).

  • The Robin of Larkspur series follows Robin, a woman who just wants to save her daughter from the mythical creatures that kidnapped her baby. Sarn tries to help her.

  • The Divergent Heroes series is supposed to star two knights who are partially disabled but a younger version of Sarn keeps stealing the scenes.

  • The Curse Breaker’s Companion series which includes side quests, wacky what ifs, and stories from my newsletter of Sarn and his family in our world because they won’t stay inside the epic fantasy books they star in. They’d rather visit me through a portal conveniently located in their cave.

Why am I here?

  • I want to give you more fun adventures, more often, and create a community of fantasy readers to share ideas with, new stories, artwork, and have fun. So I’m taking the plunge and posting chapters of my upcoming books, bonus content, podcasts, videos, audiobooks, boxed sets, deleted scenes, alternate endings and beginnings, Patron-only stories, and more.  

  • Become a patron now to read those stories.

Epic Fantasy Adventures with Melinda Kucsera
I am Melinda Kucsera, an indie fantasy author and I narrate chapters from my adventure books, talk about other fantasy books and shows 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.
