In this episode, we spoke to romantic fantasy author Imani Erriu, author of the recently released Heavenly Bodies, the first book in her beloved series of the same name. Imani is a lover of the fantasy genre (both as a reader and a writer), and her writing rose to virality on TikTok after she shared a single scene from her unfinished manuscript! Imani's next book, Fallen Stars, is the second in this five-book series. Heavenly Bodies is available in Canada and the US via Penguin Random House. Imani told us all about her writing journey, moving from indie publishing to traditional publishing, using astrology as writing inspiration, creating her own mythology for her world, advice on world-building, and much, much more!

Ted is joined by Angela Montoya, whose debut novel, Sinner's Isle, received starred reviews from Kirkus and Publishers Weekly and trade reviews from Booklist and The Bulletin. Her second novel, A Cruel Thirst, was published last month and has been chosen as a Junior Library Guild Gold Selection and an Editor's Pick: Best YA of December by Amazon Books. Angela also co-hosts the podcast Of the Publishing Persuasion, which is where she and Ted first talked. He had so much fun that he asked her to come on Working Drafts to celebrate the release of A Cruel Thirst—which she describes as “Zorro meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer”—and dive into what she's working on now. Titled Carnival Fantástico, that third novel, scheduled for release in spring 2026, is a second-chance romance set amidst a traveling carnival, with a dose of secrets and magic. Here, Angela describes the process of writing a book while you're actively seeing readers respond to your previous one and how she finds ways to draw on that feedback to make the next novel even better, a skill Ted freely admits to envying. In addition, they discuss the genesis of Angela's idea for Carnival Fantástico, the collaborative process that has shaped the book into its current form, and the struggle that comes with knowing you have to cut your word count—along with realizing everyone isn't going to think your first draft is brilliant as is.

Though it may seem hard to believe, men's predominant romantic fantasy – at least when it comes to their sexual relationships with women – is partnership. Despite what they may say, most women don't want an equal partner – they want men who will significantly improve the quality of their lives. And it is very difficult – if not impossible – for a man to simultaneously be an equal partner and a better option. While partnership is possible, it's typically easier for most men to have that kind of relationship with other men than with a woman.

He's the one and only, Edward Cullen but why? What at the heart of Robert Pattinson's essence makes him the perfect vessel for the role of white knight, dark protector. I sit down with a friend this week who has an almost obsessive fantasy fixation on Robert Pattinson and the characters he has brought to life from Edward Cullen to Bruce Wayne. We draw connections between the man himself and the traits he possesses that really sing in his romantic leads. We also root out what women are attracted to in fictional men who exhibit violence. All this and more! Kiss kiss! For extended show notes that include book and film recommendations, activities, and playlists, subscribe to the show for free on my Substack newsletter!

She is the massively talented writer behind the Young Adult Fantasy "Royal Bond", "War Bond", & the rest of the Bond Series that's soon to follow. This amazing writer has garnered 30 MILLION reads across her work and has a rabid fan base to boot. Young Adult/ New Adult lovers out there will find a new author to binge on, and fellow authors out there can learn a thing or two about making it in this business (I know I did). Just like last time, this chat was funny, informative, and raw (don't let the smile fool you, like her characters in Sacred Scars--this woman's an assassin with prose).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR As a child, Cassie wanted superpowers and to be like Princess Leia, fighting the Empire alongside unlikely heroes. She also wanted a pet tiger. Suffice it to say, she lost herself in books, from fantasy to sci-fi to a suspenseful romance. Cassie grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, graduating with a degree in marketing, and marrying her husband, Louie. After a few years in the business world, she became a stay-at-home mom, raising her two sons, Tyler and Chase. Her passions in life are her faith and her family. And now, writing—creating worlds where adventure awaits. ABOUT THE BOOK - CHASING THE DARKNESS Pain is inescapable. Suffering is a choice. Azrael, the Angel of Death, knows pain. The deaths of his mother and sister, as well as his harsh experiences in the Watch Guard at age twelve, have brutally shaped him into the most feared assassin in all of Pandaren. Azrael's role as a Hunter requires him to search for those with magic, called Spectrals, which he is happy to do. Hunting allows him to pursue his true goal--exacting revenge on the Fire Spectral who altered the course of his life. Azrael's obsession with revenge and power leads him to undergo an experimental procedure that gives him magic, but when this procedure has unexpected and dangerous side effects, he becomes a liability to the Hunters and the Watch Guard. Rescued by the people he has sworn to eliminate, Azrael finds himself questioning everything he once believed as years of secrets and lies are exposed. His very nature is challenged as he battles unfamiliar emotions and navigates relationships that contradict the heart of a killer.
