-Release news

-Our Nerdiest Thing of the week. -Interview with Author Jessica Cage (54:20)

More about Jessica Cage: Jessica Cage is an International Award Winning, and USA Today Best Selling Author. Born and raised in Chicago, IL, writing has always been a passion for her. She dabbles in artistic creations of all sorts but at the end of the day, it's the pen that her hand itches to hold. Jessica had never considered following her dream to be a writer because she was told far too often "There is no money in writing." So she chose the path most often traveled. During pregnancy, she asked herself an important question. How would she be able to inspire her unborn son to follow his dreams and reach for the stars, if she never had the guts to do it herself? Jessica decided to take a risk and unleash the plethora of characters and their crazy adventurous worlds that had previously existed only in her mind, into the realm of readers. She did this with hopes to inspire not only her son but herself. Inviting the world to tag along on her journey to become the writer she has always wanted to be. She hopes to continue writing and bringing her signature Caged Fantasies to readers everywhere.

Listen in as we chat more about Jessica’s books, her podcasts, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @jcageauthor

Hello, fellow nerds! You know who we can’t wait to meet at Imaginarium Book Festival? Jasmine Walt! So we were thrilled that she accepted our invite to the podcast to chat about her new book, The Vampire’s Bargain!

NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL Bestselling Author Jasmine Walt is obsessed with books, chocolate, and sharp, pointy objects. Somehow, those three things melded together in her head and transformed into a desire to write. Usually fantastical stuff, with a healthy dose of action and romance. Her characters are a little (okay, a lot) on the snarky side, and they swear, but they mean well. Even the villains sometimes.

When Jasmine isn't working on her next book, you can find her practicing her RNC on the jiujitsu mats, spending time with her friends and family, or traveling the world. She loves to hear from her readers, so if you've got a question or just want to say hi, feel free to contact her via her website at www.jasminewalt.com.

Listen in as we chat more about Jasmine’s books, jiujitsu, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow Jasmine @jasmine.walt

Riley Hunt is a young adult and adult fantasy author who writes fantasy, sci-fi and paranormal with a little romance, and strong female leads that kick ass all on their own. She currently lives in Maryland and holds a master’s in Education with an emphasis in Reading Literacy, but instead writes the literature she once sought to teach. She is a wine and coffee enthusiast who overindulges way too much. A proud nerd to the core, you’ll find Star Wars and Marvel characters littering the shelves of her office; which she uses to influence her own stories as she works. She is the author of Kingdom of Blood and Spirit, Sin City, and the upcoming Born of Blood and Thorns.

Hello, fellow nerds! Yesterday one of our most 2024 anticipated books, Destroy the Day, released! We shared our interview with the author, Brigid Kemmerer, in the fall, but wanted to give readers another chance to have a listen, as Brigid is so witty and fun to talk to!

Brigid Kemmerer is the New York Times bestselling author of

more than a dozen dark and alluring novels like Defy

the Night, A Curse So Dark and Lonely, and Letters to the Lost. Her stories always feature complex characters facing the challenges of life, both in realistic settings and rich

fantasy worlds, making her a beloved author among young adult readers. A full time writer, Brigid lives in the Baltimore area with her husband, her boys, her dog, and her cats. When she’s not writing or being a mommy, you can usually find her with her hands wrapped around a barbell.
