This is a mystical story about a magical circus. Not the kind of magic that involves pulling rabbits out of hats, but the kind where individuals' inner talents manifest into genuine magical abilities-known as sparks. These sparks choose to use their gifts not for conquest but to inspire and bring joy to those who need it most. But, this story is not all whimsy and light. This historical fantasy...

Why couldn't he have read Warriors Son with his normal voice instead of that annoying announcer voice???
the perfect choice for narrator for bob caro's the years of lyndon johnson. i hope to god they bring him back to narrate book five when it eventually comes out
Just finished listening to Titan, what a voice.
So interesting. AI is frequently not accurate, let alone able to grasp the feelings behind the words. Loved this conversation.

Yes! Thanks for commenting - this is one of my favorite questions to ask - and Abigail’s harmony answer with its connection to beekeeping - made me smile and think.

Sometimes we make bad ones (choices) without intent of bad.
Thanks for commenting - yes, I thought intention and consequence were essential themes in this story.
Love this podcast!! Theresa is a fabulous interviewer!
Oh Eileen! Thank you!!
I have listened to every one of your podcasts, and I feel with the visual I am sitting on a comfortable sofa in the same room observing body language as well as listening to the words between you and the author as you exchange dialogue about the book and the process of writing it. I feel more actively involved when I see the faces of the people in the conversation.
Thank you for listening. And, Thank you for the thoughtful comment Dianne. I am going to try to post out-takes here every week to get listeners behind the scenes with us.
