In the fifth episode of the Fortunate Events Podcast, I’m joined by Dakoda Mazzii, an adult fantasy romance author, artist, wife, and mom from Houston. Dakoda shares her journey of writing Chasm of Dreams, her debut novel currently awaiting acquisition from a publisher. We talk about the themes of grief, loss, found family, and reclaiming your power—all woven into a story inspired by Norse and Judeo-Christian mythology, complete with gods, monsters, angels, and high-stakes adventure. Dakoda also shares what it was like signing with Lunar Literary Agency and her hopes for what’s ahead. This episode is full of creativity, vulnerability, and real-life behind-the-scenes of the publishing world.
