We're writers! That's why we're here! What else would we be doing, except procrastinating and fighting laggy internet connections? Oh wait, we're doing that, too.

Hosts: Jessica Mary, K. Leigh, Magdalyn Ann

Booked All Night is produced by Rob Cook and edited by Rob Cook, & Jessica Mary

You've read "Chocolat", right? Maybe seen the star-studded film? Joanne Harris - yes, THAT award-winning Joanne Harris - recently published a new book as part of the story of Chocolat, and is here to hype it! Join us for a discussion of "Vianne", its characters and secrets, and the craft that goes into such a lauded career.* This was a live recording.

Let the games begin! A terrible gauntlet of knowledge challenges, clever wordplay and... okay, we invited some other podcasts and a few of our favorite guests over to goof around with Jackbox. 

This week, Authors Lindsey Miller and Kara M. Zone, and fellow podcaster Megan from Cantina Book Club join us for trivia and deranged word reuse.

Sometimes, the ending of a book leaves you begging for more. Sometimes, it has you pouring back through the pages, looking for all of the hints to the big reveal that were hidden along the way. And sometimes, the ending leaves you so flabbergasted that you wind up inventing a rubric system to describe your frustration because words aren't working.

Join Jess and Katy as they share their final takes on These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa, its highlights, its failings, and what we can take away as authors and enjoyers of story.

We're getting close to the end of These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa, and Jess and Katy have some strong opinions on the tropes and writing devices that could (or should) lead us into the finale. They're sure they know who's under the mask... but they're not agreed on which character is wearing it.

There's pacing your sentence structure, and there's pacing your story, and the difference between the two has Jess and Katy pacing the room as they connect this aspect of craft with the power of detail, early morning rage text messages, and the... Cousins-Who-Aren't-Really-Cousins to Lovers trope? Is that a thing? It's more of These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa, and you don't want to miss it!

We're at the halfway point of These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa, and what have we learned? That there are tools (and big words for them!) that a good author can use to intentionally draw reader to their world and characters! Also, three minutes is not fifteen minutes.

Join Jess and Katy as they break down lore, storytelling craft, and the impact that publishing trends have on book content.

Zeus in swishies?? It's definitely not in the book, but it got brought up, and we still can't get the image out of our heads!

As Jess and Katy explore the first part of These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa, discussion focuses on "worlds like ours" as a setting device, and what constitutes a consistent narrative voice.
