Listen to “Snakes and Campers” on Castofwonders.org!
I honestly couldn’t be more thrilled to let everyone know about a collaboration between Camp Myth and the Cast of Wonders podcast!
“Today we’re pleased to announce a special project we’ve been working on. We invite you the magical world of Camp Myth, where centaurs, kitsune, dryads, cyclops, mermaids and other mythical youngsters spend their summers adventuring and earning merit badges.
Starting September 25th, Cast of Wonders will debut Phoenix Watching, the first Camp Myth novel by Chris Lewis Carter. This longer story unfolds over fifteen chapters, and we’ll air a chapter every Wednesday, in addition to our weekly stories on Sundays.
But it’s better than that! Phoenix Watching will be a full cast production, featuring the voice talents of Kate Baker, Adam Black, Tina Connolly, Christiana Ellis, Alethea Kontis, and both Alasdair and Ian Stuart, not to mention our own Graeme Dunlop, Barry J. Northern and Marguerite Kenner.”
How cool is that? I want to thank everyone at CoW for all of their hard work in creating such an amazing version of Phoenix Watching! And as a special bonus, if you can’t wait until the 25th, you can listen to the book one bonus story, Snakes and Campers, RIGHT NOW!
Success!
Camp Myth will reopen soon! Until then…
