Welcome to another LEGENDARY episode! Our Legendaries are special guests who are an expert within their area of storytelling. In this episode, Courtney Shack and Ghabiba Weston have the pleasure of interviewing legendary Stacey McEwan.

Stacey is a fantasy author and school teacher, living on the Gold Coast in Australia with her husband and two kids. She is known on social media for relentlessly bothering her husband with ridiculous antics, as well as skits entitled “Me vs. Brain”. Stacey released the first book in her Glacian Trilogy - LEDGE, in September of 2022.
**CHASM, the second book in THE GLACIAN TRILOGY is now available wherever books are sold.**

  • We agree on hurting readers feelings (and our own)
  • Stacey shares her insight on balancing writing, social media, and life
  • We discuss reframing social media as a stepping stone
