Today, I am joined by Rachel Harrison to talk about her new novel KISS SLAY REPLAY! We talk about time loops, grounding a narrative in emotional arcs, deciding how much to explain, how writing is like catfish noodling, why the biggest challenge is often the best next project, and the mental challenge of a tough edit. Rachel is a superstar and is a font of wisdom. KISS SLAY REPLAY needs to be on top of your TBR!

Today, I am joined by Jo Salazar to talk about her new novel, If We Survive the Night! We talk about zombie tropes, writing characters without empathy, describing action, writing every day, and enjoying your success. Jo was a great guest and If We Survive the Night is action packed, tense, and written for zombie lovers!

Today, I am joined by Jennifer McMahon to talk about her newest folk horror novel, STAY BURIED! We talk about monstrous horses, rules for the ghost, discovering a novel, Shirley Jackson, focus frogs, writing rituals, and writing through different versions of yourself. Stay Buried is precise, intricate, and haunting, and is my new favorite of Jennifer’s.
