Young Adult Fantasy Author E.K. Kidwell is here! His latest release, Timeaous Spark: And the Luck Curse is a breath of fresh air in a much beloved genre. How has the Y.A. Fantasy genre changed and which direction is it heading in? Tune in and let's talk about it!

For Timeaous Spark, the Trials are more than a test—they’re a fight for survival. Born without privilege in a world obsessed with power, he faces a society that enforces belonging through fear and conformity. When injustice strikes, Timeaous refuses to surrender to a flawed system. Instead, he risks everything to challenge the rules, searching for freedom, friendship, and the courage to rewrite his own story.
