Hello and Welcome to the Finding the Magic Book Podcast season 1 episode 38. If you’re a reader searching for your next great read or audiobook download, I’m here to introduce you to new books that you will love. Whether you like fantasy, sci-fi books, dystopian, or romance, I think you’ll find something in my playlist. 

My name is Tricia Copeland. I am an author and the host of this show! I write young adult fantasy and dystopian books, as well as clean new adult romance. You can find all my books at triciacopeland.com. December of 2021 I’m hosting two events, a YA Fantasy Blog hop on my blog at triciacopeland.com/blog and a YA fantasy Facebook Group Hop in my Facebook Group Fantasy Book Fiends. So if you love Fantasy find those to meet some new YA fantasy authors. 

Today I’m hosting sci-fi author Jeffrey Neil Kippel. Jeffrey is the author of the book The Ridiculous Adventures of Serbinand. It’s a blend of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Monty Python, Family Guy with some Star Wars thrown in. Jeffrey is also an Ambassador for the rethinkFIT initiative which is all about spreading the message that being FIT goes beyond just strength and appearance, and also includes mental, emotional, social, spiritual, financial and functional health too. He is a coach and mentor to people who want to think, feel, and act better. His book helps to spread this message as well as being entertaining, includes themes of self discovery and growth, with a bunch of laugh out loud moments thrown in. Listen in as I talk to Jeffrey about his books.

I loved talking to Jeffrey about his book and message of positive self-image. You can find Jeffrey Neil Kippel and his book entitled The Ridiculous Adventure of Serbinand by searching “Serbinand” on Amazon, Kindle, as well as Audible, or you go to his website at my www.serbinand.com to get a sneak peek of the book.

PD Alleva writes thrillers. Whether those thrillers are a Sci-Fi Fantasy series about Alien Vampires attempting to subjugate the human race, or steeped in a haunting horror novel, or an urban fantasy with paranormal themes, PD always provides readers with a profound, entertaining, and satisfying reader experience, in a new genre he has coined as alternative fiction. His novels blend mystery, conspiracy, psychology, and action with the supernatural, horror, fantasy, and science fiction. Alternative fiction is PD's attempt at describing what readers uncover in any one of his books, a new discovery towards mainstream storytelling. He's been writing since childhood, creating and developing stories with brash and impactful concepts he describes are metaphors for the shifting energies that exist in the universe. PD lives inside of his own universe, working diligently on the Sci-Fi/Fantasy series, The Rose Vol. II, the urban fantasy novella series, Girl on a Mission, and Jigglyspot and the Zero Intellect, PD’s upcoming horror thriller.
