Myth & Magic Episode 108: Hotel Fen #podcast #fantasy #writing @neilmach @meriscorner

For those who followed my 18 Reads of Christmas series, you’ve already met Neil Mach, novelist, podcaster, and the host of the Myth & Magic show.

#18ReadsofChristmas: Bonus Round feat. @harmony_kent @FishyRishi @Siennafrst @MjStenning #romance #christmas #comingofage #fantasy #scifi

Wednesdays are now for the weird and the whimsical, so here’s my latest response to the bug challenge! Today’s bug is the scorpion fly.
