Steve Westenra is a new friend of mine, who very kindly agreed to chat with me on today's podcast episode. We had such a great time chatting, and I know you'll love today's episode as much as I do! I definitely plan to have him back at some point. Maybe for a book chat? Let me know in the comments over on https://thepickybookworm.com/steve-hugh-westenra and let us know a book you'd like us to read and chat about. For today's episode, we covered subjects that could each be several hours in themselves, but sadly, the episode is only just over an hour. So I guess you'll have to come back! Until Next Time, Friends!

P.S. there are a couple points that Steve forgot we don't cuss on the podcast, but it was toward the end of the episode, so please excuse the language. I'm only noting this because I do have to mark today's episode explicit just in case. We also talk about sex in books, even though we don't go into explicit detail.

Stacia Kaywood was so kind to join me today for another episode of The Picky Bookworm podcast! Stacia is a romance author, with one book currently available and more on the way. She loves writing happily ever after stories, and even though the story in the middle isn't always the cheeriest, knowing how the story is going to end gives her the push she needs to keep writing. She loves getting inspired from all sorts of things, and when she started writing mid-pandemic, she kept that inspiration close so she would know she could do it. I absolutely loved chatting with her, and I hope you enjoy our discussions surrounding book covers! Head over to my website for notes on today's show, links to Stacia's book, as well as her social media, so you can hang out with her. If you enjoy today's episode, please share with your friends, and leave a comment! I love them and respond to each one! Until Next Time, Friends!

Malcom Schmitz is the author of several short stories, including one titled The Captains Sphere. I'm excited to read it, and I was thrilled to talk to Malcom for the podcast. We had such a good time!

Until next time, friends!

Welcome, friends! My friend Sol, who you may remember from our chat about The Orchid and The Lion a few weeks ago, is back.

Welcome back, friends! I'd like you to meet the world's favorite author! At least, that's how Jon Monson, today's guest, introduces himself in his newsletter to his subscribers. The way he sees it, if he keeps saying it, eventually it might come true. I gotta tell ya, he definitely has earned a title as "one of my favorite podcast guests," because we had so much fun! the hour flew by, and I'm willing to bet, given half a chance, we could have talked for at least an hour more. I'm super excited for the rest of his trilogy to release, so I can read and review for you, but in the meantime, enjoy today's episode! I'll have show notes up very soon, so watch for those. They'll include links to Jon's website and newsletter, as well as his other books and the books he recommended during the show. Have a great time, and until next time, friends!

S. Reed is back for the third time in an amazing new episode of The Picky Bookworm Podcast! Seb is such a fun friend of mine, and we had a great time talking books, life, horror movies, and our favorite mental palate cleansers after watching a scary movie. Be sure to listen for the movie/book I won't allow in my house, and leave a comment whether you agree or not.

Sol, Spooky & John join me today to discuss the amazing book, The Orchid & The Lion. As I'm sure you know, OATL was written by my good friend Gabriel Hargrave, and it's SO good! The four of us get together to talk about what we loved about it, and why you should read it. Please be warned, there are the occasional cuss words, which is unusual on The Picky Bookworm, and we are also discussing an erotic romance, so there may be the occasional mention of sex and/or sex work. We treated it all with the most respect we could, and I hope you enjoy!
