Quick Q - How whimsical are the jars you store your herbs in? Doesn't matter. Either way, Isabeau and Morgan are chatting IN CHARMS WAY by LANA HARPER. In the halcyon days of a Great Lakes region summer, Delilah's magically-caused memory loss (read: desperate circumstances) call for turning to blood magic and the help of sexy, gladiator-sandal-sporting, half-fae mercenary Catriona (read: desperate measures). But are their magical adventures mere illusion? Only two ways to find out! Reading the book or listening to this podcast. What can mend a righteous anger? How can romantasy ground a reader for maximum, magical effect? Is a rogue succubus just a tradwife (probably)? Want to join yr girls AND Lana Harper for a discussion of Romantasy?

WitchLit is on a summer hiatus while we settle into our new WitchLit HQ and rather than leave a blank space in the feed, we're taking the old TV network approach and bringing you some summer reruns from our first two seasons. Today's rerelease is my conversation with Lana Harper. We talked about her New York Times bestselling Thistle Grove series. The first book Payback's a Witch, has been followed by From Bad to Cursed, Back in a Spell, and the forthcoming In Charm's Way out in August 2023. It was a delight to talk queer, witchy romance with Lana. If you haven't picked up the Thistle Grove series, I highly recommend you add it to your to-be-read pile and spend some time in the enchanted small town she has created.  New York Times best-selling author Lana Harper and I talked writing escapist stories, transitioning from writing YA to adult fiction, and why witches continue to be hot in fiction and popular culture. We also talked about hitting that bestseller list and why it was a doubly sweet victory.  You can purchase Payback's a Witch and From Bad to Cursed wherever books are sold.  You can find Lana on: Website: https://www.lanapopovicbooks.comInstagram: @lanalyteTwitter: @LanaPopovicLit Please support Black, indigenous, queer, trans- and women-owned, and local independent bookstores.

Payback's a Witch By Lana Harper | Book Review Podcast Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3138Je5 “Payback's a Witch is like the first Halloween wind through the corn: brisk, breezy, and altogether refreshing. This is a sweet, charming read, absolutely designed to be enjoyed on a crisp fall evening. I want to go to Thistle Grove. My greatest regret about this book is that it isn't a five-season TV show that I can already sit down and just binge.”—Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author "A sexy, charming, and completely magical romance full of sparkling dialogue and loveable characters. Emmy's quest to find out where she belongs is so relatable, with some spells and supernatural elements included to spice things up. And Emmy's hometown, Thistle Grove, is so enchanting that I found myself wishing I could plan a visit! Reading Payback's a Witch is like curling up with a big mug of cider on a perfect autumn day."—Kerry Winfrey, author of Very Sincerely Yours "No tricks, all treat! Lana Harper's debut Payback's a Witch is a compulsively fun read.”—Jacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling author of the Kushiel's Legacy series "Harper makes her adult debut with a queer rom-com that bewitches from the very first page...This magical joyride manages to feel both vibrantly current and timelessly mystical while avoiding the typical queer rom-com stereotypes. Combining John Tucker Must Die with a helping of an adult Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and a dash of Charmed, this addictive concoction begs for adaptation."—Publishers Weekly, starred review --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Vibe Check We want to hear from you! For our Thanksgiving episode, we want our listeners to tell us what to talk about! Email podcast@freshfiction.com with your ideas/requests/topics/questions and we'll yammer on about it at the end of November.  Gwen has made a ton of soup. She is really proud that she had a game night with some of their new friends, and played Abandon All Artichokes, Betrayal at Baldur's Gate, and Clank. Danielle has a wild plan to finish her current WIP and maybe (possibly) write another book before the end of the year...  * Main Discussion We both love witches and the broad scope they cover in entertainment. We both hold the 1996 film THE CRAFT close to our hearts. And we loved the trajectory of a character like the Wicked Witch of the West, who we grew up with in The Wizard of Oz, then saw the flip side of in WICKED by Gregory Macguire, and again with the musical. Gwen's recs: Hocus Pocus, The VVitch, Tara and Willow on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Fear Street 1666, Lore Podcast, American Horror Story (Coven and Apocalypse), and Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid  Danielle's recs: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Scarlett Witch from WandaVision, The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling, Witch Please by Anne Aguirre, Big Witch Energy by Kelly Jamieson, Alexis Daria's Audible original: What the Hex, Witches of Brooklyn series by Sophie Escabasse (middle grade), Bad Witch Burning by Jessica Lewis (YA)   * Recs from LANA HARPER Lana has written in different genres! Be sure to check out all of her books on her website: https://www.lanapopovicbooks.com/ Lana's Favorite Pop Culture Witches: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, The Magicians, True Blood. Danielle mentioned the Wicked Witch of the West but also brought up Gregory McGuire's WICKED and the Broadway Musical; Gwen brought up Hocus Pocus and American Horror Story: Coven. Then we all remembered Practical Magic and The Craft!! Lana finds immense comfort in perfume! She's also enjoying The L Word: Generation Q and For All Mankind.

And she finally got a cozy “shacket,” aka a

We loved this book! If you're also a fan of Practical Magic, Hocus Pocus, and books both spooky and pretty, Lana's newest work, Payback's A Witch, is a beautiful, fun, sexy rom com for your October. We discuss how to know when you've written *just* enough description (and the fact that many readers don't want to smell characters), writing villains we can't stand (who are just charming enough to be believable), and the creation of a magical system (which is somehow, at once, beautiful, believable, and escapist). Lana studied psychology and literature at Yale University and law at Boston University. She is a graduate of the Emerson College publishing and writing program and the author of YA novels Wicked Like a Wildfire, Fierce Like a Firestorm, Blood Countess, the forthcoming Poison Priestess, and the adult rom-com, Payback's A Witch, from Berkley Books. Lana was born in Serbia and lived in Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania before moving to the United States. She lives in Chicago with her family.
