Episode 554: Shadow Barrier Trilogy by Jodi L. Milner
The Blasters & Blades PodcastFriend of the show Jana S Brown sent out her owls and found us some kick ass guests from her mountain home! We’re not sure of the proper verbiage for these strange denizens of the Utahian Lands. Be the Utons? Utahians? It all sounds sort of like Klingon to me, but what do I know? Anyway, we talked about food, drinks and all manner of nerdy things. It was fun, and then we dove into her young adult #YA #completedseries titled The Shadow Barrier #Trilogy. It sounded interesting and now I wanna check it out, what about you? Seriously, this was a fun interview, so go check out this episode. Lend us your eyes and ears, you won't be sorry!! Join us for a fun show! We're just a couple of nerdy Army veterans geeking out on things that go "abracadabra," "pew," "zoom," "boop-beep" and rhyme with Science Fiction & Fantasy.
