Kaitlin Bevis spent her childhood curled up with a book and a pen. If the ending didn’t agree with her, she rewrote it. That healthy habit led to a career writing her own stories that mainly deal with Greek mythology where the heroines of those stories definitely needed better endings. Kaitlin’s Daughters of Zeus series starts with Persephone, a modern day, young adult retelling of the classic Greek myth. Kaitlin adores cats, is learning to love a specific dog, and hates to cook. She’s also a delight to talk to. To learn more about Kaitlin, check out her website www.kaitlinbevis.com.

Accidental Murderer in Apt 34 Launch

Luckily, Jace Killan had nothing better to do but be on our show and answer my inane questions. In all honesty, the man works five jobs, while raising five children, spending time with his wife of 23 years, and maintaining a healthy outdoor lifestyle. Oh, and he writes some stellar books in both the adult thriller and middle grade genres. Jace has a fascination with languages and antiques. Listen to find out why. To follow Jace, check out his website http://www.jacekillan.com or follow him on FB @JaceKillan.

Author of contemporary, paranormal, and urban fantasy, Seressia Glass thrilled us with her tales from Egyptian mythology woven into her stories. We talked about her dogs and her struggles with 2020. Seressia and I were on a panel together at Dragon Con. So, of course, we talked about conventions and the inherent fun in such events. She captures much of that joy and challenge in The Love Con about a plus-sized cosplaying blerd in a cosplay show competition set to release in December 2021.

Nothing could stop Diane Lindmark from writing. She fought through dyslexia and unsupportive relatives until she broke through and made the dream happen. Now she has almost 60 books published and awaiting publication. She’s extraordinary. I would tell you what genre she focuses on, except she doesn’t. She’s got something for everyone. We shared our love for the geeky world and how much success Diane has had with selling her books in person.

In this special edition of 20 Questions with your Favorite Author, it’s a book birthday celebration! JM Jordan welcomes her book baby into the world, Daughter of a King. As the developmental editor, I had a bit more to contribute for this episode. And we were honored to have A.M. Rose featured since she was the proofreader who helped polish the finished manuscript. The book is a YA prelife fantasy with a touch or magic and a whole wagon full of sisterly triumph with a touch of royal intrigue thrown in for color. Enjoy the party for the beginning of Huldah and Flora’s story. Then pick up your copy at https://curseddragonship.com/daughterofaking.
