    "But as video gaming, do you, do you have one or two that are your all time faves, you know, mentioning my tattoos, I have a Legend of Zelda tattoo and I have a Bioshock tattoo. So those are my two favorite games. But at any rate, nice to meet you and I'll definitely look forward to your book."

  • @DBPardes | My question for Rodney Washington, Author of Mindful Melanin: Empowering Black Youth in Predominantly White Environments

    "I want to start from you telling me about that moment when you realized you had enough content in your head, enough thoughts about this topic, that you feel it very, very necessary to dedicate yourself to writing a book about this. It is such a relevant topic. It's almost timeless, unfortunately. And I know that there was probably a moment where you said, I'm going to do this. I'm going to write this. Can you talk about that moment?"

    "Hey, Erin. My name is Shawn. We know each other, and you're an amazing writer. Anybody who's listening to me, this woman is an amazing writer. So I had a question about exotic dancing and what it was like when you started up until now. And what is different, if anything? Are the women different? Are the men different? Is there a different vibe between them? Did metoo do anything hurt Anything? Help anything? Did dynamics change?"

  • @DBPardes | For Author Nannette Sandy | Writing for young adults…
    Click here to reply to @DBPardes

    "Nanette, I wanted to ask you about the mindset an author has to have when they write for young adults, especially when they're writing about issues that are really, really intense and grapple with drug abuse and betrayal and murder. I think because you focus on ages 13 to 18, you really talk about this being a real romp, a real fun kind of roller coaster, and it's so attractive because it seems really, really exciting."

    "And it colors probably the way she trusts other people and just always carries with her that sense of, why didn't I not believe me? They were my parents. Why did they not believe me? Can you talk a little bit about Kyla's experience being misunderstood? And I know there's probably many, many transformations she goes through in this book, but can you talk about that experience as an author? Because we all look. We look for a hook, right?"

  • @DBPardes | For Author Nannette Sandy | Novel vs Screenplay
    Click here to reply to @DBPardes

    "Hey Nanette, it's Deborah. Thank you for being on Swell and for giving us some of your attention so we could talk to you about your debut novel, Bad Intentions. Pretty significant title. It caught me immediately and I'm going to link the link you provided for me so people could check out the description of your book and be able to buy it at Bookbaby. My first question is your writing trajectory because it mentions in your bio that you are a short screenplay writer."

  • @authors | PAUL BRUNETTA | stuff we don’t know about smoking
    Click here to reply to @authors

    "Hey, Paul. I feel like a lot of people think that they know what smoking does to the body in terms of, like, the lungs and the heart. But I feel like I want to understand what I don't know about this. What are the things that you want us to know about smoking in connection to what it is or what it does? Or maybe I'm even curious about why there are people out there that want us to smoke."

  • @authors | PAUL BRUNETTA | basic ways to stop addiction to nicotine
    Click here to reply to @authors

    "But can you talk about it from the perspective of when the body starts to get nicotine out of its system? What is happening? A really nice thing, probably, right? What's the body experience when it's no longer addicted to nicotine? And how should somebody think about it from that perspective?"

  • @DBPardes | ERIN LOUIS | representing the misrepresented
    Click here to reply to @DBPardes

    "Aaron, when you think about your advocacy work, I wanted to ask you about the role you play as a writer to help misrepresented people feel seen and feel advocated for, and maybe even giving them a platform that they don't feel like they have. But based on your exposure to all of that misrepresentation, you're inviting them to be a part of this world and talk with their own voice."
