Season 5 Season Ender Episode Countdown #5!

S5 EP248 | Anne Mollova and the

Magic of Women Who Know Things

​​

Hello My Happy People,

​

The Season 5 season ender episode countdown officially begins today! Today’s episode is number five in the countdown, with only four more episodes remaining this season.

​

I am thrilled to share my chat with one of my favorite authors, award-winning fantasy author Anne Mollova. She returns for S5 EP248 of Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt. Anne first joined me in Season 4, Episode 173, when we discussed her education, her career as a musician, and how she transitioned into becoming an author.

​

Today’s conversation picks up where that first interview ended. We discuss what Anne has accomplished since then, what she learned from completing and marketing her successful Celtic-inspired young adult fantasy trilogy, The Trianid, and why she decided to leave that world behind to begin something new.

​

We also explore The Maeblec’s Apprentice, the first book in The Moonblood Cycle, and the inspiration behind its powerful message about feminine knowledge and magic.

​

And the conversation doesn’t end when the podcast does! In the BTS blog, I share what had to hit the cutting room floor, including the secret behind Anne’s Publisher’s Choice book review selection, our extended conversation about her musical background, and the publishing, merchandise, travel, and food discussions that continued after the official interview ended.

​

🎧 If you enjoy immersive fantasy, powerful female characters, or conversations about the realities of writing and publishing, you won’t want to miss this episode! Listen to S5 EP248, then visit the BTS blog for more stories from behind the interview.
