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.

There are no hard rules in craft, but These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa has certainly given us plenty to talk about when it comes to effectively communicating consistent ideas to your audience. Also, Jess is stuck on a '90s kick, and Katy is totally here for the ride.

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.

There's a first time for everything and THIS is Molly's very first interview ever. We were honored to have this distinction for them. BEYOND THE BORDER FOREST comes out September 30, 2025 (WHICH IS SOON), make sure to pre-order from the BookShop.ORG link below to support indie authors, bookstores, and this podcast!

BEYOND THE BORDER FOREST

Two kings rule the woods—the Oak King in Summer and the Holly King in Winter—and no mortal may enter their realm without permission. But when seventeen-year-old Rowan Gwózdek’s older sister goes missing, Rowan must search the forest for her, risking the kings’ wrath. She enlists the help of her sister’s hunting rival Keziah, a trans (and very handsome) hunter with a mysterious connection to the Oak King. He offers to lead her through the forest to find a magical wish granter called the Bear Maiden.   

Together, Rowan and Keziah face mossmen, a wood dragon, and other fearsome creatures who serve the Oak King. To make matters worse, Rowan stumbles upon the Holly King, the Oak King’s nemesis, and becomes tangled in the conflict between the two kings. To get her sister back, Rowan will have to join in the battle, even if it means she can never return home.

THE ELF, THE DWARF, AND THE TELEGRAPH

Why are Nonani's ancient forests being razed for charcoal, when everybody knows trees can talk and springs have souls? And the mysterious derger people will die without their forest. Activists of three human species-derger hunters, elfin scientists, ubum farmers, priests, and philosophers-unite to stop the charcoal harvest, but their success disturbs powerful forces, people who will do anything to crush the movement, even destroy a three-hundred-year-old republic.
In The Elf, the Dwarf, and the Telegraph, Book One, the fight for Nonani's future begins. Can the forest be saved, or is the age of myth and wonder simply over?

This week’s book is: THE ELF, THE DWARF, AND THE TELEGRAPH
