Hello, Book Space Besties!

We are officially BACK (I was out sick for the past few weeks sadly!) with a brand-new installment of Book Space Chatter and it's a super fun one! This week's special guest is none other than Emma Simmerman! She stopped by the show to chat all about her brand-new thriller, Here Lie All the Boys Who Broke My Heart!

In this twisted tale, we follow our FMC, Sloane, as she is trying to navigate the already difficult journey of what's it's like figuring out your 20s while also dealing with plenty of heartbreak from past relationships. Don't worry though, Sloane has a nice way of coping with exes that did her wrong... by writing each of them a fake eulogy in her journal entries!

Only, when each of her exes start turning up murdered one by one, she becomes the center of attention and main suspect in the investigations after authorities find her journal entries at the scene of the crimes. In a race against the clock to clear her name, Sloane reluctantly teams up with her enemy-turned-ally, Asher, as they attempt to find the real killer before it's too late. This read has the perfect balance of friend groups, enemies-to-lovers, and the right amount of chaos that guarantees plenty of twists & turns!

Hello Book Space Besties and welcome to another installment of Book Space Chatter!

This week's special guest is psychological thriller and suspense author, Christina Kovac! I am SO beyond excited that this episode is officially out into the world along with Christina's newest book, Watch Us Fall, as it just released this Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025!

Christina Kovac is known for writing her psychological and suspense stories featuring the unique setting of Washington, DC. I love how not only is the setting unique to her stories, but Christina also worked in television news covering all things crime prior to becoming an author! So yes, her list of achievements is insanely impressive including everything from reporting, producing, to now writing fictional stories herself!

I am completely honored to have had the chance to interview Christina and talk about her outstanding career thus far! From chatting all things Watch Us Fall, to sharing inside glimpses, and tons of laughs in between... recording this episode was a real treat!

Welcome to another episode of Book Space Chatter!

Hello, Book Space Besties!

I'm so excited to release a BRAND-NEW episode of the show (a day early!) where I had the honor of getting to chat with romantasy author, Riley Knight! We got to talk all about what readers can expect from her first book, Sage of Hope and Ruin, in her upcoming The Veil of Elpis trilogy! But wait, there's more! Another reason we wanted to bring this episode to you early, is because TODAY is the FINAL chance that you can take advantage of the special-pre-order sale happening right now and pre-order Sage of Hope and Ruin for only 0.99! Run, don't walk!

It was so fun getting to talk all things romantasy with Riley in this episode, including, gushing about our favorite tropes, unique magic systems, what special power we would choose to have, and much more!

If you enjoyed this episode and want to see more of this type of content, it would mean a lot if you gave my show a follow, as it helps so much!

Check out the blurb for Sage of Hope and Ruin below:

BLURB:

The walls close in. Hope lies beyond the world’s end.

Aethra has no name, no parents, no home. Taken in by a secretive mentor, she’s taught to survive by robbing others of their coin - until the day he betrays her.

Saddled with debt even a noble couldn’t repay, Aethra is offered a chance to shake off the underworld elite who hunt her. She must steal the church’s most precious bloodstone on the day of their most holy festival.

But Aethra is a con artist, not a thief. When her attempt fails, she’s met not by the headsman but the king. In exchange for her freedom, she’s given a job:

Join a team on a quest to travel beyond the world’s end, and stop its spread. A quest sure to end in their deaths.

No ordinary men would accept such an offer. Least of all the assassin with a silver tongue and the heretic with dark secrets - but Aethra has no choice but to follow them unto the end.

Throne of Glass meets the Infernal Devices in this devastating, swoon-worthy epic romantasy inspired by Greek Mythology.

Thank you to Riley for joining me this week as it was such an honor to have you on the show! I am so excited to get to read this book for myself!

Thank you so much to our listeners for stopping by this episode, without your love and support I wouldn't get to host this show and highlight so many incredible guests! Hope you love this one!

Same time next week, Book Space Besties?

Welcome to another episode of Book Space Chatter!

In this week's special 13th episode (no, we did not plan this btw!) we have dear friend of mine, Author Blair Reed, in the virtual house with us! Blair writes dark romance and apocalyptic horror stories with a true love for all (fictional) things terror!

We met last year at the Smoky Mountain Terror con where she assisted the incredible Jackson Rathbone, and we reunited virtually only months ago when she popped up i my Vampire Diaries group with a photo of her beside Chris Brochu (Luke, The Vampire Diaries) holding up her book as he got a copy!

As you can imagine, I had to reach out and invite her to grab a mic here at Sery's Book Space. From loving so many fictional worlds (and their real-life locations), to working conventions of all genres, her upcoming MOVIE ROLE, to beginning her own author journey... we were sure to cover all the topics in our episode!
