My interview with author Dietrich Stogner is wide-ranging. We talk about:* building a unique fantasy world* torturing your characters* his supernatural heist story, Extraction, and why it focuses on bull splooge* crafting a lesbian romance* social commentary in writing* and also bovine s_m_n.

Jacci Turner and I talk about her newest YA fantasy series, The Tree Singer series. Fifteen-year-old Mayten loves training as a tree singer, an esteemed position among her clan. But when she feels pain coming from the trees, she finds herself on an unexpected quest, one so dangerous she might never return home. Now Mayten must use her unfinished training to face betrayal, fear, and a deadly foe. Is she a match for the ancient evil attacking her trees or will the entire kingdom fall to ruin?We also talk about how our spirituality informs our choices as writers, and what it means to be a progressive Christian voice in that space. Jacci gives me some insight into her non-fiction work and her work in leading retreats.https://linktr.ee/Jacciturner

I took some time (more time than anticipated) to talk with author Matthew J. Gleason about their love of pulpy fiction, dirty pictures, sexy horror, and all things weird and wonderful. They were very patient with me (as you'll see), and this episode was a lot of fun!
