I wanted to slap one of Luz Kanin's characters... and I mean that as a compliment.

How do you write a character that makes readers feel that strongly?

In this episode of In Between Realms, fantasy author Luz Evan Kanin joins me to discuss creating memorable characters, building fantasy worlds, and the writing process behind her stories.

We also talk about writing, creativity, and what it takes to craft characters that readers genuinely love, hate, and never forget.

If you love fantasy books, worldbuilding, and author interviews, you're in the right place!
