About this listen

What makes you love a book? I find my favorite stories are those where I'm crying with the MC, celebrating their victories, and screaming at their missteps. Welcome to Finding the Magic, a podcast all about books, plots, characters, and the authors that create them. I write young adult fantasy and sci-fi dystopian, as well as fun and inspiring romances. Listen in as I highlight books and authors from these genres as well as mysteries, thrillers, and horror.

  • S5 E37 with Romantasy Author Cyndi Brec
    Jul 3 2025

    Cyndi Brec writes her heroine into dangerous webs of deception while she sips French vanilla iced coffee.

    She’s a young adult romantasy author who has penned The Therans Series. She’s a creative wordsmith who weaves tales that transcend the boundaries of reality—pure storytelling magic, unadorned and enhanced by the unique lens of a dyslexic novelist.

    Cyndi’s just a regular gal—storyteller, speaker, and co-host of the P English Literature podcast. She’s a sidekick podcaster interviewing authors and serving book banter.

    Ahead of publication, she’s snagged a few endorsements from notable authors: Jonas Saul, the bestselling author of the Sarah Roberts Series; Alan Warren, NBC Radio Host/Producer/Author; and Suzy Vadori, Author and critic of the Fountain Series and three-time Aurora Awards Finalist. She’s also secured a 5-star rating from Readers’ Favorite.

  • S5 E35 with Urban Fantasy Author Ben Schenkman
    Jun 27 2025

    Ben Schenkman likes many things in life: his 20-pound Maine coon cat, his family, his coffee, and his eclectic hobbies—not necessarily in that order.
    Ben also likes to play devil’s advocate in his urban fantasy books by exploring the gray areas of good and evil with questions like, “Does the end really justify the means? Or is it all simply black and white?” Ben leaves these questions lingering in the ether to challenge readers’ conventional thinking and delve into the complexities of moral dilemmas.
    As a native of Connecticut, Ben draws inspiration from his upbringing and college years in New Haven, where his novels take place. When he wants to escape being a writer, he’s a massive foodie who goes on gastronomic adventures, an overachiever who collects degrees in Theater, Nuclear Engineering, and an MBA, or the manager/performer of the fire dance troupe, HVBRIS—you know, the basics. No big deal.
    Want to know more about his work, or talk about coffee and cats? He loves hearing from readers!
