Utterly delighted to speak to Anna whenever, about whatever - but I can think of no one else who i'd rather have done my first interview about my first book.

She's brilliant. She makes me feel old. Listen to her talk to me, and then listen to her talk to everyone else in horror.

Podcast editing has gotten SO much more whimsical thanks to my early “wedding gift” (we all know this is just for me) from @paperbackbish.bsky.social

Tomorrow’s episode is one near and dear to my heart (yes, I’ve been saying this lots, but IT’S TRUE!). I chat with @talkscaredpod.bsky.social about his debut novella, Good Boy (@wildhuntbooks.bsky.social) a story that ripped my heart to shreds and pieced it back together.

This conversation @sleyhousepresents.bsky.social @pfracassi.bsky.social is fantastic. Really appreciating Fracassi’s points about writing what you want, and the discussion about age was spot-on.
