The Indie Fantasy PodcastEp 2: Portal Fantasy with Caelan J. PetersIt was so wonderful to have Caelan J. Peters on the podcast! I loved chatting with her about the harsh realities of indie publishing, writing a portal fantasy, and the importance of not rushing the publishing process.

Other than writing, Caelan also loves canyoneering, traveling, and collecting pretty books.
