This week Katy and Rosie are back with chapters twenty three to thirty four of Quicksilver by Callie Hart and things are getting SIGNIFICANTLY more unhinged. We are not okay. We were not prepared. We will not be taking questions at this time.

We also tackle this week’s big question: which book character would be the best at actually protecting you if things went sideways? Not the most attractive option, not the most fun option — the one you’d genuinely want in your corner when it all kicks off. The answers were debated with great passion and absolutely no objectivity whatsoever.

☕ Grab your cuppa and possibly a comfort blanket. Chapters 23-34 require emotional preparation.

⚠️ Trigger warnings: graphic violence, adult content.

Episode Thirty S2: Old Bastards, Scottish Accents & a Man Who Used to Be a Drink ft. Stevie Duffy

This week Katy and Rosie are joined by the wonderfully chaotic Stevie Duffy to chat about his debut novel Old Bastards — a gloriously filthy, outrageously funny comedy set in a nursing home where the residents are absolutely feral, the staff are barely holding it together, and nobody is behaving themselves. Think less peaceful twilight years, more booze-soaked chaos with extremely questionable decisions and characters you will fall completely in love with despite everything. We had an absolute blast chatting with Stevie — and yes, the Scottish accent is exactly as good as you’re imagining.

Plus Rosie’s Bit on the Side this week features a man who was, until recently, a margarita. Not a sentient margarita — we want to be very clear on the terminology — just a man with a very unusual origin story and apparently a lot to offer. Katy had questions. Many questions. We should also mention that there may or may not have been an additional presence in the room for this part of the episode. We’re saying nothing further.

☕ Grab your cuppa. Or a margarita. We don’t judge.

⚠️ Content warnings: "Con Non Con", crude humour, adult content, themes of ageism

This week Katy and Rosie are back with chapters eleven to twenty two of Quicksilver by Callie Hart and things are getting considerably more complicated for Saeris and Kingfisher. We have thoughts. Strong, chaotic, slightly feral thoughts. No spoilers here but the slow burn is doing its job and we are not coping well.

We are also joined by the remarkable Rhonda Penders, co-founder, President and Editor in Chief of The Wild Rose Press — a publishing house built from scratch in 2006 by two authors who were thoroughly fed up with how the industry treated writers. Over 500 authors and 3,500 titles later, Wild Rose Press remains one of the most author-friendly publishing houses around. We chat with Rhonda about what it really takes to get published, what she looks for in a submission, and what authors consistently get wrong. If you have ever dreamed of getting your book out into the world, this one is unmissable.

☕ Grab your cuppa. Romance, fae warriors, and a masterclass in publishing. We have range.
