Podcast of fantasy/LGBT/Romance author, Drako. Here I'll discuss a number of issues, from writing, reading, and reviews, to common life topics and maybe some interviews Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drako5/support
Just a Conversation on dealing with negative friends again. With two guests this time
So after a particularly jarring experience with some indie books, I decided to give some tips from my experience as an indie author that new authors attempting this route should keep in mind
Taj returns for a show on toxic practices in relationships that are oddly normalized today, and probably shouldn't be. This was a live show, so we got some comments from live listeners and you never know what you're going to get until you listen to them. So for the weird guy in the middle, well, that wasn't planned
The next discussion is back, and I put all three together because they're so connected. This time talking characters from the Dragon Hunters series. Links to the books are available on the website www.drakosden.com
Bringing back character discussions and updating them, starting with the couple from my latest book, Reunited. This is an overview of who they are, a little of their inspiration, and just a bit of where they might be headed in the future. Links to the books are on my website www.drakosden.com
My brother and I get together to discuss my newest book release. I know it's been a while since I did a show but hopefully we're getting back on track with this one. This release is my 12th published book, the third in the Coven series. It's available for sale wherever ebooks are sold, with paperbacks available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble Buy here
Taj and I reunite to talk about my latest book. We're giving a little bit of back story, some history on the actual writing and editing process, and talking a bit about how publishing this was different. If you want to purchase the book, I've linked it below. Hope you enjoy Link to Book --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/drakosden/message

So in light of the release of Hogwarts Legacy and the audacity of some people to condemn everyone that bought the game and are enjoying playing it, Jeremy and I decide to speak on our views on the idea of buying the game, and in my case, why I bought it. But more importantly, we talk about how these same people bashing those of us that bought it are real performative with their outrage on this, but silent on other things. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/drakosden/message

Going down reddit and there's plenty of audacity to be had in these topics. Parents bringing a poly partner in and expecting the kid to listen to them like a parent, a really stupid and entitled sister in law, and a spouse that needs to grow up. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drako5/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drako5/support
This show had a more cohesive theme, these came from reddit as usual. We have a bad partner doing some selfish things, a fiance and a stepmother not liking or being jealous of children, and finally a mother with a gay child that made some bad choices and expecting said child to bail themselves out because they're an adult now --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drako5/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drako5/support

Technically this is a follow up to an episode Jeremy did on his podcast, Beyond Good Enough, discussing some things people try to pass as kinks that deserve to be shamed. This is a response to some people that didn't listen to his podcast complaining about kink shaming, further explaining that what he spoke about based on my suggestion wasn't actual kinks, but behaviors people slap the word kink onto to justify their perversions and abuse.
