S4 EP195: Heather Ogden, YA Magical Realism Author of the Debut Novel The Betrayal: The Lies We Fear
Join the conversation, text us now.
Hello My Happy People,
I hope you all survived the Halloween Season and are ready to join us as we move into the final stretch of Season 4 of Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt – Book Talk Podcast. As the holiday shopping season draws near we are going to bring even more great books to help you check off every avid reader you will need a gift for.
Today I welcome YA fantasy author Heather Ogden, whose writing blends magical realism with the emotional depth of human resilience. Her debut novel, The Betrayal: The Lies We Fear (Morgan James YA), introduces readers to Angelette Arabella—a young woman living in the shadow of her nation’s supposed hero, her father, Valerius Arabella. To the world, he’s a savior. To her, he’s simply “Dad.” But when a staged kidnapping unravels into something far darker, Angelette discovers that her life, her family, and her country are built on lies—and that the truth may cost her everything. In Libertis, truth isn’t just dangerous, it could be treason.
Join us as we discuss the art of world-building, the value of being introverted, and why the most powerful magic often comes from facing our fears. Join us for this thought-provoking conversation that opens the final chapters of Season 4 with heart, honesty, and a touch of rebellion.
