I reached out to todays special guest after reading the

first book of her King of Realms series as part of the Hidden Gems ARC reader

program. I fell in love with her dynamic characters and the fantasy world so

much that I invited Brit Asher to share the story behind this series. Join us as

we talk all things fantasy for middle grade readers and their families. Don’t

forget to have your journal or notebook handy, because there are some golden

nuggets about publishing and marketing you writers will want to take advantage

of.

Britt lives in the frigid wasteland known as Minnesota.

While she hates the cold and snow, she appreciates the nice summers, the lack

of lethal creepy crawlies, and the pretty forests and lakes. Outside of

writing, she loves reading, high-speed walking, and high-speed walking while

reading--yes, that’s a thing, and no, she hasn’t accidentally walked off a

cliff (yet). One of her favorite places is Japan, where she lived for nearly

three years and ate far too many sweet potatoes.

Britt’s featured book is King of Realms.

Varric has two weeks left to live. That’s the least of

his problems.

Twelve-year-old

Varric wants nothing more than to save his mom’s life. After all, it’s his

fault she’s dying.

But

when he breaks into a castle to steal a magical relic that might save her, the

relic is stolen right out from under his nose. Even worse, he’s arrested for

the theft. Unless he can find and return the missing relic within two weeks,

he’ll be executed by a magical explosive on his wrist.

As

if that weren’t bad enough, Varric discovers that the relic is actually a key

to an ancient prison containing a malicious and powerful creature. Varric’s

quest to save himself and his mom turns into a race to keep the prison locked

and save all of humanity from destruction.
