Author Interview: Hannah Whitten
Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Hannah Whitten, author of The Wilderwood duology and The Foxglove King!
Hannah Whitten has been writing to amuse herself since she could hold a pen, and sometime in high school, figured out that what amused her might also amuse others. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, making music, or attempting to bake. She lives in Tennessee with her husband and children in a house ruled by a temperamental cat.
Listen in as we chat more about Hannah’s books, her baking, and her other upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @hwhittenwrites

Author Interview: Kate Gateley Returns!
Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we welcomed Kate Gateley back to the podcast, the author of the Lost Wells Trilogy and the newly released Shadow of the Yew Tree!
Author Kate Gateley writes at her small Cowichan Valley farm on Canada’s beautiful Vancouver Island, where she lives with her one amazing husband, two fantastic sons, and a constantly evolving number of canine, feline, and aviary companions.
With three published books, two Canadian Book Club Award wins, and three shortlist nominations under her belt, Kate celebrates the evolution of The Lost Wells trilogy into something that she dearly hopes can one day find a cherished spot among those volumes of both contemporary fantasy and historical romance novels that so inspired her growing up.
When Kate isn't reading, writing, or wrangling children and animals, she enjoys time in her "hobby library," which includes any number of creative side quests. Kate prefers not to wear socks, drinks too much coffee, and forever falls for the cinnamon roll hero.
Listen in as we chat more about Kate’s books, crafting Ronan’s story, and her other upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @kategateleyauthor

Tessonja Odette is a Seattle-based author of fantasy romance, epic romantasy, and fairytale retellings. She especially loves to write about brooding fae and the fierce women who hate-to-love them.

When she isn’t creating, she’s watching cat videos, petting dogs, having dance parties in the kitchen with her daughter, or pursuing her many creative hobbies. In her books, you'll find enemies-to-lovers, witty banter, cozy vibes, and a delicious dash of steam.

Episode 40—Our Nerdiest Thing: Our Spring & Summer Reading Hopefuls + Author L.M. Sanguinette!
Hello fellow nerds! On today’s episode, we are sharing our spring & summer reading hopefuls! Join us as we discuss the following:
-The books we hope we get to read this spring and summer!
-What we’re reading and watching + the book Whit and Deb wanted to get more out of
-Our nerdiest thing of the week!
We also got to talk to author L.M. Sanguinette, author of Welcome to Visanthe, The Days I Dream of Coffee, and more!
L. M. Sanguinette was born on a small island in the Caribbean, where the palm trees watched over her like giants and the sea crept up to her feet to say hello. Ever since she was little, she surrounded herself with tales of fantasy and magic, hoping that one day, she too would be involved in a story like the ones that captured her imagination.
Years—and many rewatching’s of Avatar: The Last Airbender—later, she is happily living in the worlds that her mind created, filling her bookshelves with more books than she will ever read and practising her own version of magic.
When she’s not sitting at the computer, she can be found snorkelling near forgotten shores, twisting from silks that hang from the ceilings, or in one of the many hidden coffee shops of Madrid, conversing with the spirits of the old city and dreaming up new adventures.
Listen in as we chat more about L.M.’s books, her poetry, and her other upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @author_lmsanguinette
