“B.L. Mostyn is a mystical force to listen to, whether it's on a panel or hear her spin tales about the writing experience. I had the pleasure of sharing a panel on writing YA/MG fiction and as the moderator, peppered the panelists with probing questions. Mostyn's quick and insightful answers generated a palpable enthusiasm in the audience and lit a spark on the panel. MarsCon received a gift in the experience this author brought. As someone who has interviewed and spoken to hundreds of talented writers over the past two decades as an author and reviewer, I have to say the genre has a new talent on its hands.”

“This book completely surprised me. It starts off with such a calm, even cozy vibe...It’s not all sweet family vibes and glowy hands. There’s darkness creeping in. The book doesn’t shy away from fear, especially fear of being different...Heroes of Another Age feels like the start of something special. It’s a small story, but it hints at big things.”
— Literary Titans“This book truly took me by surprise and completely stole my heart. Heroes of Another Age is a beautifully written, emotionally layered fantasy that feels both timeless and refreshing. ”
— T. Shetty
