This week's episode of LiteraryHype Podcast is a treat. Most people recognize the name Bruce Lee for his epic (and tragically too short) career in martial arts and film. His daughter, Shannon Lee, is the keeper of his legacy and decided to write a novel based on her father's characters and teachings. She turned to beloved author Fonda Lee to write this novel with her. Now, "Breath of the Dragon" is available in stores and book two is on the way. We're diving into all things fantasy, Bruce, grief, and more in this episode.

I still don't know how I convinced John Scalzi to chat with me while we were at C2E2 earlier this year, but it happened and he's a hoot. We're talking all about his signature humor in sci-fi books, which celebrities are fans of his, and his work as a DJ for nerds. He's a Hugo Award-winning author full of great things to say, including his take on alpha males, so join us for a fun conversation on LiteraryHype Podcast.

San Diego Comic Con week is here! If you can't attend the show in person, the next best thing is to read about it. Shameez Patel's first novel published in the USA will do just the trick. Playing Flirty has some ties to SDCC (that I'll let you explore for yourself!) and lots of nerdy love formed over a board game. We're talking all things fandom this week on LiteraryHype Podcast!

Amal El-Mohtar is a co-author of the very buzzy book, "This Is How You Lose The Time War" which was seen in the TV show adaptation of "Heartstopper", and debuted as a solo author this year with "The River Has Roots". You know I love a good physical book, but I highly recommend the audiobook for reasons we chat about in this interview filmed at C2E2 2025.

This was such a fun conversation about sisterhood from the oldest daughter's perspective, sports, and literacy and justice for all, among many other things. The ADHD was strong, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It was such a delightful time!

Cover artists of This Is How You Lose The Time War Deluxe Hardcover Edition: Amanda Hudson of FaceOut Studio.

F.T Lukens is mashing up all the genres in "Love at Second Sight". It's a paranormal romcom with a murder mystery. Oh, and it feels very cozy fantasy all at the same time. Think Heartstopper by Alice Oseman meets the fabulous world of The CW's show, Supernatural.

F.T. and I chatted all about the book, crafting, and more while at YallWest 2025.

I love itnroducing readers to debut authors and Elle is one to add to your TBR list. She's the author of "What Wakes The Bells", which is a fantasy novel about a sentient city and the bellkeepers within when one accidentally unleashes a big problem. We're talking all about impostor syndrom, world building, and how Prague is so key to her writing this book.
