Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Casey Bond, author of The Shadows of Neverland Duet!

RONE Award-winning author Casey Bond lives on a rural farm in West Virginia with her husband and their two beautiful daughters. She writes phoenixes – gloriously flawed and morally gray characters that fiercely rise from the ashes of their circumstances, though worldbuilding is one of her favorite hobbies.

She thinks thunderstorms are better than coffee and that watching a meteor shower is magical. She’s a firm believer that every amazing book needs a world you want to wrap yourself in, a character you want to win, and a love you would fight for.

Listen in as we chat more about Casey’s books, rising like a phoenix, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @authorcaseybond

Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Clare Sager, author of A Kiss of Iron and King of Ravens!

Clare Sager is the Sunday Times bestselling author of darkly addictive romantasy full of slow-burn steam, gut-wrenching conflict and morally grey everybody. Dubbed the Queen of Edging by readers, she takes no responsibility for lost sleep or therapy bills.

Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Neena Laskowski, author of The King’s Weapon and The Heir’s Bargain!

Neena Laskowski didn't fall in love with reading until she started writing her own stories in fourth grade, when she realized reading would improve her writing. 

She earned her Master’s in Secondary Education and Bachelor’s in English and Classical Studies from the University of Michigan. After teaching middle school English for a few years, she decided to pursue her life-long passion for writing.

When she is not writing morally grey heroines or working her day job, she can be found camping with her husband, starting a random house renovation she found on TikTok, cuddling with her dog and cat on the couch with a good book, painting with a glass of wine in hand (and hoping she doesn't mix her paint water with her drink), or spending quality time with her friends and family.

Listen in as we chat more about Neena’s books, deadly libraries, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @neenalaskowski

Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Sarah Glenn Marsh, author of Our Rogue Fates, How I Met Your Murderer, and more!

Sarah Glenn Marsh has been an avid fantasy reader and Tolkien enthusiast from the day her dad handed her a copy of The Hobbit and promised it would change her life. She’s been making up words and worlds ever since, and is now an author of books for kids including the How to Spot a Fairy series; books for teens like the Reign of the Fallen duology; and romances for adults, including the forthcoming Our Rogue Fates, out April 28th, 2026 from Alcove.

She has also written for popular franchises including Star Wars and Critical Role, as she loves digging into the sandboxes of her favorite worlds.

When she’s not writing, Sarah frequents the pottery studio and raises awareness about her autoimmune disease, Type 1 diabetes. As a queer person, Sarah is also passionate about seeing more and better representation in all forms of media; we all deserve happy endings.

While her favorite place to be is Ireland, Sarah currently lives in Richmond, Virginia where a tiny zoo of four rescued sighthounds, three birds, a turtle, many fish, and one adorable toddler—not to mention her garden—keep her and her partner plenty busy.

Listen in as we chat more about Sarah’s books, her adult MM romance, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @sarahmarshauthor
