  • Bonus Ep. 8: Tosca Lee Interview

    Welcome to the eighth special bonus episode of - The Stephen King Podcast - Constant and New Listeners!

    In this installment, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Tosca Lee drops in for a chat.

    New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee's second novel in the House of Bathory duology, Firstborn (the highly anticipated sequel to IndieBound bestseller The Progeny), is now available in trade paperback from Howard Books, a division of Simon & Schuster.

    The Progeny released May 2016 to outstanding reviews calling it "irresistible"(Publishers Weekly), "suspenseful" and "entertaining" (Booklist) with a jaw-dropping ending that had early readers clamoring for the sequel before The Progeny even released.

    Called "The Queen of psychological twists" by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Steena Holmes, Lee has previously been best known for her historical novels (including Gold Medallion winner Iscariot) and evocative prose. While Lee's trademark research remains in evidence, the House of Bathory duology, with its high octane pacing, represents a new direction for the author—one enthusiastically embraced by readers and Hollywood, both.

    The books are in development as a dramatic television series by Radar Pictures and Ed Burns' Marlboro Road Gang, as first reported by Deadline Hollywood: http://bit.ly/2wsinqY.

    Find out more about Tosca on her website.

  • Bonus Ep 6: Writer Laura Hambley Lovett Interview

    Welcome to the sixth special bonus episode of - The Stephen King Podcast - Constant and New Listeners!

    Laura (Hambley) Lovett was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, and received her PhD in Psychology from the University of Calgary in 2005. Her love of writing began at an early age when she would create and draw characters, telling stories to herself as she drew.

    An accomplished author in the academic and business world, Laura pursued her love of creative writing to pen her first novel, Losing Cadence, a psychological thriller. Losing Cadence was written over many years as Laura juggled school, work and family, but she made time to pursue her passion for writing.

    Books

    When Cadence Weaverly graduates from high school, she thinks it's for the best that she and her boyfriend, Richard White, take separate paths: she to Julliard and he back to Harvard. Ten years later, she has an ideal job and a wonderful fiancé, Christian. She is building the life of her dreams-until the day Richard resurfaces out of the blue, abducts her from her San Francisco apartment, and returns her to his mansion where he holds her captive. Cadence can hardly believe her ears when Richard professes his undying love and reveals his plans to build a life together. Terrified to fight back for fear he will have Christian murdered, Cadence must determine how to reason with a mentally unstable man who is obsessed with making her his forever. But even if she manages to escape, will she ever really be free of the man who hunts her heart? Find out more here.

    The sequel to Losing Cadence is set twelve years later. Similar to Losing Cadence, it starts off by hooking the reader in the first chapter. The story will have some unique twists, and keeps the reader guessing at how it could possibly end, or at least end well. I look forward to completing it this Spring and releasing it in the Fall of 2017. In the meantime, I'm hoping as many readers as possible enjoy Losing Cadence and are eager to read about what happens next.
