Mandi Grace:Author and Book Coach Mandi Grace is deeply passionate about understanding people and what makes them tick. Author of ten novels ranging from folklore retellings to dystopian sci-fi, her books include a Robin Hood retelling, the dystopian trilogy Finding Hope, and her upcoming epic fantasy inspired by Arthurian legends. She writes to bring compassion and unity into a divisive world. When she’s not writing her own stories, Mandi can be found combining her love of people with storytelling while she works with her book coaching clients.Check out her website for book links, newsletter, and book coaching info:mandigrace.org

A wrap up of all of the books that I read in June and July. Including a Manga Horror trilogy, a Marvel comic collection (Hawkeye), a poetry collection, and a SciFi/Super Hero novel (or anti-hero novel, really.) How was your June and July reading?

Ania and I connected through Instagram. Ania is the co-founder of Quill and Cup, a women-led writing community that I am now a part of. I knew I had to interview her for my podcast. In this interview we talk about Quill and Cup (of course), killing your writer's ego (a big thing in Quill and Cup), and much more!! Enjoy, and please leave a review or share if you enjoy this content. :) 

Check out Ania's books here and here.

I decided to record a quick episode explaining why I changed the name of this podcast. I am getting back into the swing of recording and uploading episodes, so I hope you can be patient with me as I do. :) In short, I changed the name because I felt the need to talk about more things. You can hear a longer explanation in this episode. I hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think on social media. Or leave a review if you enjoyed, please. It would mean so much.

Check out the short fiction blog I run with two writer friends, The Cat Chat Writers blog. Also, find us on Tumblr. 

This came about because of a text. Jessica, Rebekah, and I were texting about purple prose. A term I had only heard in the last couple of years. It was new to them, as well. So naturally, we had to hop on a podcast and discuss this!! I hope you enjoy our opinions (remember that is what they are) and insights on the topic. Let us know what your thoughts on Purple, and Beige prose are.
