New episode every Monday
Leona and Nicole write fantasy for a living and practise witchcraft for real. Every week they pull apart how books actually get made — plot, spice levels, print-on-demand, the lot — and throw in a little magic on the way.

Mostly craft, sometimes a book review, occasionally a guest who knows more than we do. Start anywhere.
One writes high fantasy, one writes dark. Between them they founded a publishing house, which explains why so many episodes end up being about contracts.
High fantasy — rich worlds, big casts
Author, IT technician, fiber artist and mother, all in one bundle of chaos. A landlocked witch in the middle of the States who keeps dreaming about the coast. She cosplays, rides horses, walks the dogs, and has been practising witchcraft and druidry for four or five years now — still learning.
Her debut, Fire Magic, opens the Death Gate Trilogy.
Dark fantasy — gritty, grounded, unapologetically spicy
Mom of three and wife to an active-duty Marine, so the family moves a lot — the current adventure is Virginia. She reads, writes and crafts constantly: knitting and crochet first, but also candle making, yarn dying, bookbinding, jewellery, sewing and cross-stitch. Coffee is essential and usually goes cold.
She writes the Secret Society series, beginning with The Order: Unbound.

Mythweaver Books is our publishing house — fantasy, paranormal, science fiction and dark romance. If an episode about cover design or distribution sounds oddly specific, this is why.
The Discord is where the actual conversation happens between episodes — writing sprints, questions, book chat.
Sprints, feedback and far too many book recommendations. Free, and reasonably well behaved.
