Featuring: Indie author Trisha Otis of Daughter of Broken Light

Today’s episode arrives sizzling like a sunstone dropped straight out of the sky and into your group chat. 🔥💬

Sarah is still in her Moving Era™ (a saga sponsored by stubbed toes and college boys who load trucks like Jenga). Erika is beefing with ID cards, printers, and her caffeine addiction. And Trisha? She pulled up ready to unleash her villain origin story with the finesse of a fantasy heroine who definitely has a dagger tucked somewhere. ⚡📖

Once we settle into the chaos, we dive into Trisha’s debut novel Daughter of Broken Light, where magic, mayhem, and emotional ruin dance together like they paid extra for VIP admission.

Also… the amulet? The amulet. We are Not Okay. 🗝️🔥

Inside this episode:

✨ How a stolen sunstone sends an entire kingdom into meltdown

✨ The secret truth that her MMC is her husband in book-boyfriend form (collective gasp)

✨ Her lifelong dream of writing fantasy finally taking flight

✨ D&D character sheets, worldbuilding spirals, and swamp lore we enthusiastically endorse

✨ Her upcoming surgery and why she may sit at Lit & Libations like a politely wounded Victorian

✨ The audacity of Reddit giving her a FAKE one-star review (justice will be served)

Plus:

🐶 A tender tribute to Raiku, the dog who shaped her story more than he knew

🐈‍⬛ Cameo chaos from Maggie and Elrond

🧹 Erika and Sarah being written into Book 2 as cannibal swamp witch coven leaders (the honor of all honors)

If you love fantasy, friendship, chaos, and indie authors who drop stories that slap, this episode is your new comfort listen.

Then come scream with us about Eldren, the ball scene, and the spicy enchanted accessories we will not emotionally recover from. 😭✨
