March 03, 2024 A Love Letter To Her Adopted Home Town Full of Tech Jargon and Of Course, Iconic Fashion - Valley Verified with Kyla Zhao
Last Year I had the absolute honor of talking to Kyla Zhao about her debut novel THE FRAUD SQUAD and had an absolute blast so when I found out she had another book coming out in 2024 I just knew I wanted her back on the show!
Today on OTS Kyla and I catch up on what's been going on, how she took on book 2 (and the many different titles it could have had) and how she brought together the tech and fashion spaces in her sparkly new novel.

February 18, 2024 From A Spin-Off to A Masterful Standalone All Of It's Own - Drawing Deena with Hena Khan
Today I got to talk with an absolute powerhouse of a young readers writer. Hena Khan has done it all, middle grade, picture books, anthologies, graphic novels... there is no telling what she'll come up with next! Today I got to discuss her newest middle grade novel DRAWING DEENA. It was originally pitched to be a spin-off of one of her other novels (listen to the ep to find out which one...) and has turned into a delightful book of it's own after severing those ties.
Hena is amazing and I highly recommend you check her and her works out!

Today I had the HONOR of talking with poet, academic, and now published author Dr. Tony Keith Jr. about his debut YA memoir in verse which he described as a YA version of his (award winning!!) dissertation!
This is unlike any book I have ever read before and it is a FEAT, mixing verse narrative with an immersive historical framework and truly a story from the heart!

February 04, 2024 Sarcastic Suburban Mysteries and the Complicated People that Solve Them - The Andi Stern Series with Fabian Nicieza
Today I got to talk to a member of comic royalty and an emerging voice in the mystery world. From Fabian Nicieza co-creator of Deadpool (and so much more) comes a two part mystery series that is more about the investigator's journeys than the actual murders. Fabian is incredible and I had SO much fun while recording this interview with him. Hope you enjoy!
