Today, I am joined by the wonderful Briana Morgan to discuss her new novel, HOW TO ESCAPE A TIGER CULT! We talk about thriller pacing, cults, writing about tigers, the difference between thrillers and horror, working on the next thing, agents recruiting from the indies, and spotting red flags with a publisher. I’ve wanted to have Briana on the show since I’ve started, and I’m so glad I finally got to talk to her!

Today, I am joined by the inevitable Tanya Pell to discuss her new slasher novel, THIS B JUST WON’T DIE! We talk about deconstructing slashers, challenging regressive elements in the horror community, when and how to break the rules, the fluid laws of commas, the growth of horror, and why you should always shoot your shot. Tanya is the best, her book is the best, and you should read it!

Today, I am joined by none other than returning champion Robert Ottone to talk about his newest novel, AMITYVILLE AWAKENS! We talk about pacing, building out a cast, influences, coming of age novels, the lineage of Amityville, writing about and around young people, championship belts, craft classes, and social media! Amityville Awakens is a barn-burner of a novel and it is always a joy to talk to Robert!
