Debut author Emily joins Jenna and Cait to talk The Care and Feeding of Dead Mothers, a psychological thriller set in the Wisconsin Northwoods. Margot Hale flees Manhattan after her career collapses, only to have her estranged sister and long-buried trauma come clawing back. Emily digs into her wild Wisconsin research, her indie publishing journey, and the unhinged meta-twist waiting in book two. Dark, twisty, and exactly our kind of story.
Travel rom-com author Kat Mackenzie joins us to talk about her new release, Experiments in Offline Dating, set around a real Irish matchmaking festival in County Clare. We dig into how she lived the research in Ireland, writing authentic dialect, her six rescue dogs, the art of a good insult, and her honest take on the indie vs trad publishing divide. Pour a marg and settle in.
This episode's Lime Light shines on Marissa Malson, author of the Average Jane PI series, cozy-adjacent mysteries following a delightfully forgettable private investigator with a knack for landing in the middle of a heist. We talk about the book that arrived fully formed after a yoga class, building her own publishing company with her sister, and why author events became her secret weapon.
