Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, Beka Gremikova is joining me to talk about her book, Unexpected Encounters of a Draconic Kind and Other Stories.
What’s it about?
This speculative fiction collection features 22 tales across fantasy, sci-fi, humor, and spooky genres. The stories follow characters encountering magic, monsters, and the unexpected - including a dragon scale-gathering mother, a half-mermaid searching for her father, a ghost-hunting opera singer, and an alien on a rescue mission. These diverse encounters promise to surprise and delight.
Unexpected Encounters is perfect for fans seeking a genre-blending collection full of heart.
What’s in this episode:
Beka Gremikova will plunge us into one of her vivid worlds with an excerpt, and we'll explore the range of speculative fiction genres featured.
We'll discuss how unexpected encounters transform the characters.
We'll find out what inspired this collection bringing fresh twists to myths and fairytales.
