In this super-special episode of Empty Pages, I got to virtually sit down with actor, writer, and director extraordinaire Daniel Montgomery! We of course had to dive into our shared love of Goosebumps and how it helped inspire Daniel’s journey into crafting spooky, fun, and unique stories of his own. 
We also discuss his first feature film “The Jessica Cabin” (streaming now on Tubi!) as well as his immensely successful immersive theater experience “The Willows”, which just wrapped up its ninth season. It was such a delight getting to learn more about Daniel’s creative process, the efforts that went into bringing his first feature to life, the exciting projects he has on the near horizon, and the importance of working with what you have— especially when a project takes on an (after) life of its own.

In this next episode of the Empty Pages podcast, I sit down with Katerina "Kat" Dicker, author of "Baby Teeth" (Disclaimer: NOT "Baby's Breath" which I mistakenly call it in the intro), which is the first book in her Heebie Jeebies series. Kat is also an artist, musician, and just an amazing person overall!

Here, Kat discusses what led her to writing and publishing her first book, how she ended up getting into 3D modeling and printing, and what else she's been working on recently. We also get into a deep discussion involving our art and the legacies we're creating in the process.

Be sure to check out Kat's work and give her a follow on Instagram for all the latest announcements, she truly deserves the support!

In this first episode of the Empty Pages podcast, I sit down with A.D. Aro, creator of the Bumps in the Night YA horror series, and author of "Baby's Breath", the upcoming Point Horror-inspired YA horror novel which is #2 in the Terrorcore Rewind series. Aro discusses his creative process in-depth and what led him to launch the Bumps in the Night series in October of 2024. We also spend quite a bit of time discussing aliens!
