Her newest book, No Place Like Home, releases June 30th! Be sure to check out both her series!

(Please note we have been having issues with Riverside which has resulted in delayed episodes and technical issues. Riverside is currently working to correct the problems with Karrie's video, so this may be updated at a later date. Thank you for understanding.)

On this episode, we had the honor of sitting down with Penn Cole, the author of the best-selling romantasy Kindred's Curse Sage. We discussed her indie author journey, what inspires her, and so much more.

On this episode, we discuss what, how, and why we started our Bookstagrams. Everyone's experience is unique and different, but we are all here because we love books. Remember to protect your peace and do what makes you happy.

On this episode, we discuss the nasty B - Burnout. We talk about how we are feeling, what is burnout, and tips to help with it.

This is a vulnerable episode for us, but a necessary one. After seeing so many of our friends within the book community, feeling down or burned out, we felt we need to bring light to this topic. We want you all to know that we see you, we are here for you, and our DMs are always open to talk. You are not alone.

As always, read what you want and don't be a dick!

On this episode, Karrie and special guest, Riniya, put Lys in the author hot seat to discuss her debut fantasy romance, In The Shadows. We talk about the writing process, publishing, theories for book 2, and much more. In The Shadows is out now on Amazon, Etsy, and Kindle Unlimited.

*THIS IS A SPOILER EPISODE. Please do not watch until you have finished In The Shadows.

As always, spoiler warning for the entire Sarah J. Mass universe since we tend to bring it up in every episode.
