Published: Nov. 17, 2023, 2 p.m.

I reached out to todays special guest after reading the\nfirst book of her King of Realms series as part of the Hidden Gems ARC reader\nprogram. I fell in love with her dynamic characters and the fantasy world so\nmuch that I invited Brit Asher to share the story behind this series. Join us as\nwe talk all things fantasy for middle grade readers and their families. Don\u2019t\nforget to have your journal or notebook handy, because there are some golden\nnuggets about publishing and marketing you writers will want to take advantage\nof.\nBritt lives in the frigid wasteland known as Minnesota.\nWhile she hates the cold and snow, she appreciates the nice summers, the lack\nof lethal creepy crawlies, and the pretty forests and lakes. Outside of\nwriting, she loves reading, high-speed walking, and high-speed walking while\nreading--yes, that\u2019s a thing, and no, she hasn\u2019t accidentally walked off a\ncliff (yet). One of her favorite places is Japan, where she lived for nearly\nthree years and ate far too many sweet potatoes.\nBritt\u2019s featured book is King of Realms.\nVarric has two weeks left to live. That\u2019s the least of\nhis problems.\nTwelve-year-old\nVarric wants nothing more than to save his mom\u2019s life. After all, it\u2019s his\nfault she\u2019s dying.\nBut\nwhen he breaks into a castle to steal a magical relic that might save her, the\nrelic is stolen right out from under his nose. Even worse, he\u2019s arrested for\nthe theft. Unless he can find and return the missing relic within two weeks,\nhe\u2019ll be executed by a magical explosive on his wrist.\nAs\nif that weren\u2019t bad enough, Varric discovers that the relic is actually a key\nto an ancient prison containing a malicious and powerful creature. Varric\u2019s\nquest to save himself and his mom turns into a race to keep the prison locked\nand save all of humanity from destruction.\nPurchase link:\nhttps://books2read.com/kingofrealms/\nConnect with Britt at the following links:\nhttps://brittasher.com\nhttps://www.facebook.com/brittasherwrites/\nhttps://www.goodreads.com/author/show/34374119.Britt_Asher\nhttps://www.amazon.com/author/brittasher\n\xa0\nSubscribe to\nthe 540 Writers Community for free, if you need some writing accountability,\nand you want\xa0 to participate inwriting\nworkshops.
