May 31, 2026 Venture Into Lev A.C. Rosen's Queer and Criminal New World
What better way to end of the month than a chat with a long time friend of the show?! This week I got to chat with Lev A.C. Rosen for the third time but this time had a bit of a twist. Our previous conversations were about his work in YA, covering his novels Emmett and You've Goth My Heart, but this time we're delving into the world of his adult fiction with his latest, The Disaster Gay Detective Agency!

May 17, 2026 It's Been A Big Year for Angela Cervantes!
It’s been a couple weeks since my last episode (end of semester/finals/21st birthday shenanigans and all) but we are back and with quite a treat!
I got to chat with acclaimed Middle Grade Author Angela Cervantes about not just one but TWO of her recent releases Raquel Reyes Saves The Wedding and The Mystery of the Stolen World Cup Trophy. We not only explored her writing journey until now but the unique experiences of writing this pair of complementary yet very different novels.

April 26, 2026 Putting A New Spin on an Old Classic with Nikki St. Crowe
Happy Sunday!
Our last episode of April 2026 (and last episode for a few weeks!) has arrived and what a way to end the month! Like many of us I was thinking ALLLLL about Oz last year with the arrival of Wicked: For Good in theaters and so it was such a delight to chat with Nikki about her own twist on L. Frank Baum’s dangerous, beguiling world.
Once again it was a delight, so I hope you enjoy the listen!

Happy April!
I'm delighted that our first episode of the month is a book to get us right into the Spring/Summer mood as the days get longer and the sun gets brighter! Cassie Miller stopped by OTS to chat about her Romeo and Juliet inspired YA romance featuring star crossed lovers and a lot of small-town baseball. Truly a treat to start out the month!

March 29, 2026 Alexis Henderson On Writing Through Grief and Going Out for Drinks with Death
And lo and behold, we've reached the end of March! (kinda, we still have a couple days to go but still) and for our final episode of the month I'm honored to chatting with Alexis Henderson about her new YA novel When I Was Death which hit shelves a couple weeks ago. I've wanted to chat with Alexis since House of Hunger but I'm sure you'll agree that this conversation was well worth the wait.
