  <description>&lt;p&gt;ACOFAE Podcast Presents: SPECIAL EPISODE 27: Our new friend, Meghan Le Fay!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Always and forever ready and willing to discuss dragons, ACOFAE welcomes to the podcast a very special guest and our new friend, Meghan Le Fay, to discuss her new release &lt;em&gt;Wings of Life&lt;/em&gt;! This is a SPOILER FREE EPISODE so dive into the world of dragons, hygiene, language, and red hair as ACOFAE and Megan discuss everything from initial inspiration to crafting the intricate religions of this new world. A fish out of water story that if rich with culture and miscommunication, Wings of Life asks the reader to put themselves in our heroine's shoes and ask themselves, "What would they do in this situation!?". A miscommunication and enemies to lovers romance plot guides the reader along this journey of self discovery and self worth and ends with lore for the ages!&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;ACOFAE Podcast Presents: A Forbidden Fate: "Loopholes! Scuba gear? Garden gloves?!"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How do you get around a curse that can't be broken, has horrible consequences for the entire world, and is like, super inconvenient day to day? You look for loopholes if you are ACOFAE Laura and Jessica, or you travel though the woods with a band of merry people and old crush to your current fiancé's kingdom. The woods being full of horrifying creatures and the fiancé may or may not know what's going on. Don't forget the curse! That's where Laura Marie and Jessica Marie find themselves in Kaven Hirning's &lt;em&gt;A Forbidden Fate.&lt;/em&gt; What happens when you can't touch the person you love or the world will end? You look for loopholes. Or creative ways to expel tension together, without touching.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Not all men, but always a man."&lt;/p&gt;
