S1E8 - Interview with Cyndi Brec - Author

Cyndi Brec is a YA (Young Adult) fantasy author, speaker, and co-host of the P English Literature podcast, who turned a lifelong challenge — dyslexia – into the heart of her writing journey. Growing up, words seemed like walls she would never climb, but she refused to let dyslexia define her. Cyndi shows us the power of perseverance and how she has channeled her struggle into writing epic, history-inspired fantasy stories and how twisting legends have made her a legend sleuth.

Cyndi has completed three prequels and three novels in The Therans Series, with two different worlds within the same series, where she twists legends into captivating mysteries and exciting narratives. To create an even more relatable main character, Callie has dyslexia, too.
