Ligia Cushman is a Dominican-American writer who explores themes of romance, betrayal, and magick through narratives centered on women of color, defying traditional fantasy tropes while offering a refreshing perspective in the genre.

She joins Vince on the show to discuss her first work in the Mose Chronicles "Rise of a Dark Throne."

They discuss the topography and cosmology of Transea, the inspiration for bioluminescence, the travails of writing sex scenes, and the best platform to market your book on.
