Karyne (00:00:07) - Hi fantasy readers. This is Karyne Norton, your fellow book binger, and you are listening to the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast where you can test out a new fantasy story every single week to find your next favorite author.

You'll want to stick around for today's story if you like young heroes, dragons, and the faintest of Christmasy vibes. It's written by Nicole DragonBeck, who claims to be part dragon and part hobbit. She's a lover of dragons, coffee, and chocolate, and is a provider of magical diversions and portals to new worlds, also known as a fantasy author. She also enjoys cooking and listening to music, and can often be heard fiddling on a keyboard or guitar.

Today's narrator is Paeter Frandsen, host of Christian Geek Central. Stick around to the end or check out today's show notes to see where you can find more from both the author and the narrator.

For now, please enjoy The Boy Who Cried Dragon by Nicole DragonBeck.

Paeter (00:01:11) - The Boy Who Cried Dragon is read by Paeter Frandsen. Due to copyright, the full transcript of the story cannot be included here.

Karyne (01:07:50) - I hope you enjoyed listening to The Boy Who Cried Dragon by Nicole DragonBeck, narrated by Paeter Frandsen of Christian Geek Central. If you want to read more by Nicole, go to dragonbeckbooks.com to find more of her books. Next month, the seventh book in her series, Guardians of the Path, releases, so I'll add a link in the show notes to the first book in the series called First Magyc, so you can start reading now and be all ready for that seventh book.

If you enjoyed listening to Paeter narrate the story, you might also enjoy listening to his audio dramas at spiritblade.com or his podcast, Christian Geek Central, where he discusses movies, video games, and all things enjoyed by self-proclaimed geeks from a Christian worldview.

If you're all caught up on podcast episodes or if you're in the mood for something longer, make sure to check out my other podcast, which is a serialized audio book for my debut novel, Blood of the Stars. Paeter and I are narrating the series, so if you enjoy listening to us on the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast, I think there's a good chance you'll enjoy listening to the audiobook as well. You can find it on all the same podcasting platforms under Blood of the Stars, or you can listen on my website at karynenorton.com/audio. And along with the rest of the sites mentioned in this episode, I'll have direct links in the show notes.

Thank you all for listening, and happy reading.
