This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, Ashley Poston is making a comeback! 

I love Ashley, not just because she writes fun romances with a hint of magic, but also because she's one of the funniest people on earth. I might have to post a blooper reel because we had a really hard time keeping on task for this conversation. 

Ashley published two books within one month in 2026, her adult romance "The Someday Garden" and the first official romance in the Star Wars canon, Eyes Like Stars. We're talking all about both books, researching to making them happen, and she's giving us a little hint about her upcoming romantasy book, Elodie and the Dark Lord.

Get ready for a few laughs, even if they are at our expense. This conversation is full of laughs.

This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, you're getting a double dose of author conversations for a very special reason. This conversation was filmed in April, but because I got Katie Bernet spilled some tea about her second book, I agreed to hold off posting until her publisher made the announcement. That day is today, so tune into hear about Katie's debut novel, Beth is Dead, which is a murder mystery retelling of Little Women, and details of her upcoming book, Mary Mary Quite Contrary.

This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, I'm chatting with New York Times #1 Bestselling Author Stacey McEwan about her wildly popular Artisan series. Book one, A Forbidden Alchemy, took booktok and bookstagram by storm, leading to a frenzy for early access to book two, A Forsaken Propheycy.

We're talking all about being caught up in that level of buzz, how she developed the magic and world for the series, her friendship with fellow author Hannah Nicoie Maeher, and a little hint at book three.

This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, I'm back! Thanks for your patience as I've battled sickness and an intense moderating schedule at multiple conventions in a row. Ya girl was wiped out, but I'm so excited to be back and bring you brand new (albeit late) author conversations.

Today's guest is M.J. Hastings! She's the debut author of "Firstborn" bringing us a fun fantasy world where your birth order determines your fate in life. This first in a series novel follows the oldest daughter, who is forced to take up arms and leave her younger siblings behind.

We're talking all about birth order, world building, and how her career as a lawyer is helping her in this creative space.

This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, I have a very special treat from San Diego Comic Con. Smallville actress Kristen Kruek was there promoting her new graphic novel, which she wrote with Peter Mooney and Eric Putzer. The idea started while they were all working together on a show called Burden of Proof, and now volume one of Black Star is out in the world. 

In this episode, we're chatting all about blending ideas from three people into one product, finding the right artist, and the research it takes to pull off a dystopian yet historical horror noir comic.

Links to come.

This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, a San Diego Comic Con tradition continues! Olivie Blake and I are chatting about her brand new book, Dreamland. It's a gothic Hollywood tale overflowing with Olivie's signature vibes. We're talking all about how the pursuit of art impacts a person, sexy pigeons (yes, you read that correctly), and her love of Los Angeles. Plus, she's spilling tea about her upcoming books and bringing all the chaotic energy you know and love from her (ie us together without adult supervision).

This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, we're welcoming Holly James back for a fourth go round. That might sound like a lot, but she's put out four traditionally published books and two independently published books since then, so we have a lot to cover. Her latest release, You'll Be The Death Of Me, is under her pen name, Holly Michelle. It's perfect for fans of emotional comedies in the vein of the movie "Eternity", the show "The Good Place", or the classic tale "A Christmas Carol".  Plus, we're talking about her latest action thriller romance novel, The Alias Agenda, and a slew of independent books.

This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, I'm welcoming a fellow reader from the trenches of YALLFest to talk about her debut novel, (Mostly) Human Resources. Grace Viall is the author of this fun cozy fantasy book with elements of romance and a smidge of horror. I mean, it's cryptid hunting in the Appalachian Mountains. Things are bound to get a little dicey, right?

I'm so excited for this book to be out in the world and for readers like you to experience this fun world. We're talking all about writing communities, inspiration, fandom, and maybe some hints at the future.... ;)

This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, I made a new bestie and you get to see it all unfold. Haha! Addie Thorley is the author of Burn The Kingdom Down, which is a romantasy x murder mystery mashup. After her sister's death, our main character is forced to marry her sister's husband, but she thinks he might have been involved in her death, and therefore, she needs answers. 

Addie and I had the best time chatting at YallWest, so get ready for a fun and goofy conversation about writing, sisterhood, and who is really the funny one in the relationship.
