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

Author Interview: Elle Rivers
Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Elle Rivers, author of the newly released book Ill Will!
Elle Rivers writes fun romance books filled with real world problems wrapped in beautiful, heart-warming happy endings. When not writing, she can be found speed reading other authors’ amazing romance novels, curling up next to any warm object she can find, or singing obnoxiously loud to Taylor Swift.
Elle was born and raised in Nashville, TN, and she considers herself one of the few native Nashvillians who does not like country music. She has eight cats who fight for the spot on her lap, and eight chickens who couldn’t care less about her unless she is bringing them food. She lives with her romance hero of a husband, who endlessly supports her writing endeavors, and her son, who is the biggest but most adorable distraction.

She is inspired by the secret liaisons of old west villains, heroes, and the temptresses who lure those powerful men into their webs.

Amari works closely with bestselling author of both nonfiction and fiction, Tara Delaney. Tara has extensive professional experience in behavior and nervous system development, while also having studied the impact of how early trauma impacts our responses as adults. Tara is directly responsible for trimming back Amari’s sex scenes, allowing room for all the FEELS.
