Jim and friend of the show Derek (of D&J’s Epic Quest) get together with Molly Macabre, author of the zombie apocalyptic tale of 2024, Dark Bloom, to get the real dirt on her writing. We question her choices, probe into her motivations, and try to pry out a few secrets no one yet knew. Come learn if Molly is the type of author you’d hope to get more from, or where “one and done” is the better option. Derek and I definitely have a take on this; listen to this episode to see if you’ll agree. (Slight spoilers for Dark Bloom)
