Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Casey Bond, author of The Shadows of Neverland Duet!

RONE Award-winning author Casey Bond lives on a rural farm in West Virginia with her husband and their two beautiful daughters. She writes phoenixes – gloriously flawed and morally gray characters that fiercely rise from the ashes of their circumstances, though worldbuilding is one of her favorite hobbies.

She thinks thunderstorms are better than coffee and that watching a meteor shower is magical. She’s a firm believer that every amazing book needs a world you want to wrap yourself in, a character you want to win, and a love you would fight for.

Listen in as we chat more about Casey’s books, rising like a phoenix, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @authorcaseybond

With a knack for creating steamy romance and high-stakes action, T. L. Price delivers books that leave you desperate for more.

Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Clare Sager, author of A Kiss of Iron and King of Ravens!

Clare Sager is the Sunday Times bestselling author of darkly addictive romantasy full of slow-burn steam, gut-wrenching conflict and morally grey everybody. Dubbed the Queen of Edging by readers, she takes no responsibility for lost sleep or therapy bills.

When she's not breaking hearts with her books, Clare can usually be found drinking coffee, lifting weights or impulse-buying stationery. She lives in Nottingham, Robin Hood country, so it's no surprise she writes about characters who don't always play by the rules.

Listen in as we chat more about Clare’s books, her chaotic reading order, Alice in Wonderland, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @claresager

Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Nicolette Elzie, author of A Curse of Tooth and Claw, We Were Meant to Burn, and more!

Nicolette Elzie writes mythology-inspired fantasy romance that is fierce and emotionally gutting. Her writing is full of morally grey love interests, weaponized trauma, just kiss already angst with fierce heroines more likely to jump into battle mode with their swords blazing. She lives in Washington, D.C., with her swoony husband, two children, and three fur babies. She can usually be found reading, re-watching her favorite shows for the millionth time, playing board games, and reminiscing on her past life as a dragon.

Listen in as we chat more about Nicolette’s books, her love of dragons, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @authornicoletteelzie

Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Geneva Monroe, author of The Sun Serpent, the Dark Oz series, and the upcoming Down the Rabbit Hole!

As a walking ball of chaos, Geneva is a mood reader turned into a mood writer. She’s obsessed with everything from epic landscapes, to unstoppable women, and main characters with questionable morals. Becoming an author was the gateway to her villain era, and she’s loving it. So don’t be surprised when you end up saying, “D*mn it, Geneva.” You were warned.

Listen in as we chat more about Geneva’s books, Alice in Wonderland, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @geneva_monroe_author
