Fantasy, Lore, & More with Alesha Escobar

Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode Alesha Escobar is joining me to talk about her book, The Tower's Alchemist.

What’s it about?

British intelligence wants her spying skills. A vampiric warlock wants to steal her powers. The Master Wizards who trained her want her dead... The Nazis have unleashed occult forces throughout Europe and the Allies are forced to recruit and employ wizards to counter their attacks.

What’s in this episode:

  • Alesha Escobar will take us into a world of magic, mystery and vampiric warlocks with an excerpt from The Tower's Alchemist, and we’ll explore aspects of that world, like the world of Gray Tower wizards and alchemists.

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

  • We'll discuss Isabella George's journey from Gray Tower dropout to spy battling occult forces.

  • Join us in a place where magic meets history and one woman fights to define her own destiny.

  • Alesha will talk about her upcoming Kickstarter  campaign to fund the release of signed hardcover editions of the entire Gray Tower Trilogy. Backers will have the opportunity to receive gorgeous hardcover copies of each book, personally autographed by the author with a special note plus other goodies!

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.
