Hello My Happy People,

In this episode of Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt, I’m talking with author Cyndi Brec, a self-described storyteller and legend sleuth whose Therans Trilogy blends mythology, mystery, archaeology, romance, and lost civilizations.

Cyndi takes us inside the world of the Therans and shares how real history and places have influenced her stories, including the historic Keister Water Mill, which she and her husband co-owned for more than 20 years. We also talk about her writing process, being a “pantser by design,” how she manages dyslexia as a writer, and why she chooses to write stories that are personal to her rather than chasing market trends.

And somewhere along the way, Cyndi tells me something about our history that completely surprises me. Apparently, this interview actually began more than two years before we sat down to record it.

UPDATE: In regards to recent events, a tribute was added at the end of todays podcast to honor Miss Dolly Parton.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to Miss Dolly's Imagination Library
