My short story, “The Aquamancer’s Secret,” has been featured on the podcast Finding Fantasy Reads!
Karyne Norton, the podcast host and narrator, has done a tremendous job narrating this whimsical tale I released last fall:
(I like to listen to audiobooks on 1.5x speed, but that’s just me.)
Karyne will release Part 2 (of 2) next Tuesday.
Check out Karyne’s other podcast episodes! She has narrated a treasury of short stories by top-notch fantasy authors—all of them clean and family-friendly! (She describes her content standards for accepted stories as “G for language, PG for romance, and up to PG-13 for violence.”)
What This Story’s About
Ilyan the Estimable has a secret. And everyone wants to know what it is.
For sixty-three years, the venerable aquamancer has peddled his potions, dilutions, and elixirs from his little shop on Renner Street. It is a well-established fact that his potions just work better than his competitors’. Stronger impact. Longer-lasting results. Fewer side effects.
Rival aquamancers would be willing to pay large sums to get their hands on such a secret.
Some would be quite willing to get it for them.
If only a feisty, pedantic little apprentice didn't stand in their way.
This story occurs about 8 years before The Pyromancer’s Scroll. The astute reader will spot a couple crossover characters.

Speaking of audiobooks, chapter 23 of The Pyromancer’s Scroll will be released this Thursday morning, April 3! (It’s already scheduled.)
