February 23, 2026 112. SHAILEE THOMPSON: Blending slasher and romcom vibes into one book | How to Kill A Guy in Ten Dates
Send a text
This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, I'm chatting with debut author Shailee Thompson. Her first published book, How To Kill A Guy In Ten Dates, is the most fun I've had reading in a while. I didn't know I needed a combination of slasher and romance, but apparently I did.

Shailee and I are chatting all about how she blended two genres with distinct beat patterns into one cohesive story, the iconic quotes at the beginning of each chapter, and just how competitve she really is.

February 17, 2026 111. COURTNEY SUMMERS: Adapting This Is Not A Test into a movie full of zombies, grief, and trauma
Send a text
This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, I'm chatting with the delightful Courtney Summers. She originally published This Is Not A Test 12 years ago, but now it's getting new life in a re-published book and a movie starring Olivia Holt. We're breaking down how zombies can help us process grief, seeing your brain child come to life, and what she's excited for people to see on screen. As much as this sounds like a sad conversation, it's actually really funny, so I hope you enjoy it!

February 10, 2026 110. CHRISTY SWIFT: Dating a celebrity in Hollywood Hookup
Send a text
This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, Christy Swift returns to talk about her sophomore novel, Hollywood Hookup. This is about a makeup artist who gets semi-forced onto a celebrity dating show by her best friend, who is trying to help her get a date with her celebrity crush. However, our main character has plenty of secrets that have her wanting to flee the spotlight.
This is a quirky, fun romcom with plenty of nerdy references and vibes. It also packed a huge surprise for me personally, so we are talking all about that, interactions with the actor behind Gimli, and super powers galore. Join us for a fun conversation!

Send a text
This week on Literaryhype Podcast, Alexandra Brown Chang joins me to talk all about her debut novel, By Invitation Only. This book follows two girls as they compete at an elite debutante ball in Paris and all the shenanigans that unfold with one of them not being of the high society world. It's perfect for fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty, Gossip Girl, and Princess Diaries. It was one of my favorite reads of 2025, so I hope you enjoy it too.

This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, Mary Kubica joins me to talk about her latest mystery/thriller novel, "It's Not Her". This book starts with a wild murder that's ripped from the headlines and the ending left me shocked. Mary and I are chatting all about her writing process as a pantser with a load of red herrings.

January 20, 2026 107. JENNIFER IACOPELLI: Netflix's Finding Her Edge and putting sports in sports romance
Send a text
This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, I'm joined by Jennifer Iacopelli, just in time for her world to go crazy. Netflix will drop the TV show based on her book, Finding Her Edge, in just a couple days, and then her first novel, Game, Set, Match, will be updated and republished in early February. No biggie, right?
Jennifer and I are talking all about putting sports back into sports romance, flipping tropes, and breaking typical structure for the sake of the story. Plus, there's a whole lot of laughter when I might compare one of her characters to the iconic audiobook narrator Teddy Hamilton.
Join us for a good time!

January 06, 2026 105. G. WILLOW WILSON: Writing new & exisitng characters for Marvel and DC Comics
Send a text
This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, I'm chatting with G. Willow Wilson about her many projects in the graphic novel world. She's the co-creator of Ms. Marvel, she's written iconic characters like Wonder Woman and Poison Ivy, and she writes novels and graphic novels of her own worlds as well. Willow is so smart and kind, and incredibly patient since we filmed this several months ago and technical issues delayed it and impacted the quality for the first portion. Bear with us for the first few minutes and it will improve. So sorry!

December 30, 2025 104. HELENA HAYWOODE HENRY: Writing Squid Game meets death row & AI in the legal system
Send a text
This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, Helena Haywood Henry joins me for a fascinating conversation rooted in her debut novel. "Last Chance Live!" is about a girl competing in a reality show where teens on death row can win a second chance at life, but if America doesn't vote for them, they'll be put to death within the week. This sparks so many questions about if it could happen and AI's role in the legal system. We're breaking it all down in a thought-provoking conversation.

Send a text
This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, two bestselling authors are joining me to talk about their latest project together, A Fate So Cold. Amanda Foody and C.L. Herman write together and separately, and have one of the most fun and unique writing processes I'ver heard about so far. Their latest novel together is an enemies to lovers situation where instead of a Chosen One, there's a Chosen Two... or so they think. Things don't go so well for our two main characters in this collision of summer and winter.....
