Fantasy, Lore, & More: Twicetime

Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, Carol Carman is joining me to talk about her book, Twicetime

What’s it about?

  • Building a bodyguard to kill your aristocratic niece’s vengeful ex-husband should be easy for a witch. All you need is the right body and the right magic, and soon you have a mindless killer to do your bidding. Of course, it all depends on what the butler brings back from the cemetery. For Frances Stein, reanimating the dead is one thing, but convincing the corpse there’s life after death is another. Finding out he’s neither mindless nor killer is something else entirely. Especially when he’s her last hope, because they both have a limited lifespan, and time is literally running out...

  • Twicetime is a character-driven fantasy adventure. Set in the world created by Carol Carman, Twicetime is an action-packed paranormal romance.

What’s in this episode:

  • Carol Carman will take us into a world of witches, time travel, and resurrection with an excerpt from Twicetime, and we’ll explore aspects of that world, like the intricate magic system.

  • We’ll find out what to expect from the Twicetime series and maybe get some spoiler-free highlights of what’s to come.

  • We’ll discuss Frances and her companion's journey from witch and corpse to allies racing against time, and discover the rules around Carol's inventive magic system.

  • Join us in a place where magic blurs time, and love defies death.

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.
