Kera Van Graan•keravg.com

Hello, Hi! I am your Host, Kera Van Graan and as a Fantasy Writer, I’ve lost so much sleep thinking about the magic, monsters and myths that have inspired and influenced so many books and cultures worldwide. So many campfire creatures, old folktales and legendary monsters are so incredible, and I’ve wondered about their stories, and their origins and definitely spent too much time overthinking their plots because listen, sometimes, these scenarios are wild and just unnecessary. So, please, join me as I dig into your favourite folk stories, mythical monsters and the occasional joke.
