-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.

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

This episode is spoiler heavy across the From Blood and Ash and Flesh and Fire series by Jennifer L Armentrout.

Hello, fellow nerds! This week we had the opportunity to chat with Leslye Penelope, author of The Monsters We Defy and Daughter of the Merciful Deep!

Leslye Penelope is the award-winning author of the Earthsinger Chronicles, and the first book in the series, Song of Blood & Stone, was chosen as one of TIME Magazine's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time! Equally left and right-brained, Leslye studied filmmaking and computer science at Howard University and sometimes dreams in HTML. She hosts the My Imaginary Friends podcast, co-hosts the Ink & Magic podcast, and lives in Maryland with her feline dependents. Leslye has been writing since she could hold a pen and loves getting lost in the fantasy and paranormal romance worlds in her head.

Listen in as we chat more about Leslye's books, her background in computer science, and her upcoming projects. And be sure to follow Leslye at @leslyepenelope.
