šŸŽ§ Chapter 4: A Historical Place | Origin Curse Fantasy Audiobook
From the Author’s Chair Author Podcast – Episode 4

Escape, legend, and the edge of everything she knew...

Lady Yoshiko and her mother, the formidable daimyō Asumi, have reached the bridge—the final barrier between the palace walls and the freedom of the town beyond. But cursed waters, whispered legends, and watchful guards are only the beginning.

In this episode of From the Author’s Chair, we read Chapter 4 of Dynasty Codes: Origin Curse—a beautifully tense, emotional moment of escape and reckoning. With danger at every corner, Yoshiko must trust not only her mother’s plan but also her own strength as the world she knew begins to unravel beneath her feet.

✨ Fantasy Audiobook lovers, this chapter is rich with:
āš”ļø Tension and palace intrigue
šŸŒ‰ A heart-pounding nighttime escape
šŸ‘ļø Myth, memory, and the shadow of rebellion

Plus, I’m recording this one from my blanket fort. Yes, seriously.
Why? Because reducing reverb is real—and also, it’s basically the dream of every bookish kid: reading fantasy from inside a blanket fort. šŸ“ššŸ’«

šŸŽ™ļø Author tip of the week: If you’re recording audio on a budget, don’t be afraid to get creative. A good blanket fort, closet setup, or pillow wall can do wonders for reducing echo and improving your sound—perfect for indie authors and DIY narrators!

So grab your hot drink of choice, pull up your headphones, and join me for another chapter of this epic fantasy adventure.
