Callista Eckert is an incredibly unique person. Not only is she the recent Amazon best-selling author of a book titled, The Halfling, but she is also currently in medical school and was a former Division 1 soccer player! I always enjoy meeting with people who have a combination of skills, and we talk quite a bit about that in this episode.
If you like a good story, listen in.
If you enjoy reading fantasy novels, listen in.
If you would like to learn more about the writing process, listen in.
And if you want to learn more about the book, check out this summary and then go and get your copy!
Darkness rises, and the halfling girl Aisling may be the key to the survival of the world itself. Raised as an assassin, death and torment molded her into the monster she has become. Secrets claw their way up from her past, mixing with the secrets and betrayals of her companions, as she is forced to journey into the elven lands. To find the peace she has been searching for, Aisling must first make sense of the powers running through her blood before her world is burned to the ground. Or she may be the one that burns it to ash.
----------
Callista Eckert is a future doctor, fantasy fiction writer, and lover of all things dogs and hiking. Her obsession with books began at a young age, staying up past her bedtime to finish just one more chapter. The Halfling began as an idea when she was a teenager and grew until she couldn’t help but to write it down.
Not willing to pick only one career path, Callista played Division 1 soccer in college while earning an English degree and taking all her pre-med requirements. She is currently finishing up her last year of medical school while traveling across the country with her dog, Anubis.
