 Welcome to the eighth special bonus episode of - The Stephen King Podcast  - Constant and New Listeners! In this installment, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Tosca Lee drops in for a chat. New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee's second novel in the House of Bathory duology, Firstborn (the highly anticipated sequel to IndieBound bestseller The Progeny), is now available in trade paperback from Howard Books, a division of Simon & Schuster. The Progeny released May 2016 to outstanding reviews calling it “irresistible”(Publishers Weekly), “suspenseful” and “entertaining” (Booklist) with a jaw-dropping ending that had early readers clamoring for the sequel before The Progeny even released. Called “The Queen of psychological twists” by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Steena Holmes, Lee has previously been best known for her historical novels (including Gold Medallion winner Iscariot) and evocative prose. While Lee's trademark research remains in evidence, the House of Bathory duology, with its high octane pacing, represents a new direction for the author—one enthusiastically embraced by readers and Hollywood, both. The books are in development as a dramatic television series by Radar Pictures and Ed Burns' Marlboro Road Gang, as first reported by Deadline Hollywood: http://bit.ly/2wsinqY.

This week on Alive After Reading, I have an awesome interview with New York Times bestselling author, Steena Holmes. We talk about her books, and how she does her best for her readers each time she writes something new. It was an eye-opening conversation for me as a writer, and I think you’ll all enjoy it. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Mark interviews Steena Holmes. Steena Holmes is an Award winning USA Today and Amazon best-selling author from Calgary, Alberta who writes psychological suspense, family drama, women's fiction and sweet romance. She publishes under an Amazon-owned imprint as well as her own self-publishing imprint, is a fan of reading, of chocolate and of traveling. Speaking of traveling, Steena, who is a wife and the mother of three daughters, has created an authentic and dynamic relationship with her readers, who she has been a caring and loving tour guide through as she took them on a unique journey with her on her path through writing.  In our conversation, we talk a lot about the importance of this relationship with her readers and in always putting them first. Before the interview, Mark provides a personal update on the following items: His half-marathon training schedule His recent short fiction writing, including a zombie story to appear in Z IS FOR ZOMBIE Some non-fiction writing he has been doing, both short articles as well as the new book he is working on about writing and publishing (which he has written 14,000 words for so far this week) The status of the #FreeFridayFrights project, including some underwhelming responses and views from his recent Friday the 13th Facebook live and YouTube posted videos – but, (AND THIS IS IMPORTANT), why this isn't something to be down about Mark then shares this week's Terrible Tongue Twister, sponsored by Findaway Voices. This week's twister (especially since you won't be able to understand what the poor boy is trying to say) is:   Three sweet switched Swiss witches Watch three washed Swiss witch Swatch watch switches. Which sweet switched Swiss witch watches Which washed Swish Swatch watch switch?   In their conversation, Mark and Steena talk about:   Steena's hot new release, The Forgotten Ones, a psychological suspense novel that explores the deep dark secrets that are kept hidden from family The inspiration behind the writing of The Forgotten Ones, which came from a really dark time and place in Steena's life How, despite the darkness of the novel, this was the easiest novel of the more than thirty books that Steena has written Steena's first novel, Finding Emma, which was a runaway bestseller and the differences between that novel and her latest novel The journal that Steena took her readers on as she slowly migrated across genres The promise that a writer makes to readers with every book that they release and the importance of honoring that promise The emphasis Steena placed in focusing on the readers rather than the sales with each book's release One of Steena's pet peeves in a “Don't Do This” bit of advice for authors How an author can create a genuinely authentic relationship with their readers The tremendous response that Steena receives from readers after she shares a personable and relatable post on her blog Ways that an author can be personable and relatable without revealing personal and private details about their life or their families lives How Steena writes different books in different ways and in different locations to help create a distinction between book projects The way Steena plans on dealing with a recently missed deadline The juggling of writing books for a publisher and her self-publishing imprint Attempts to retain the creative writing into different parts of the day How in the first six months of publishing, Steena made a mere $100; but, in the first month of Finding Emma's release, she sold 10,000 copies How the readers of Finding Emma kept wanting more and more of the characters and their stories and the various ways Steena fulfilled their needs (without realizing that many of those things were things that a writer supposedly “couldn't do”) The lesson Steena learned when someone called her out on rushing a book to press by saying “You're better than this, and your readers deserve better than this.” Steena's “Branding with Intent” series of emails for writers   After the interview, Mark reflects about Steena's talk about being personable and someone that readers could relate to. He also reflects on authenticity.   Links of Interest: Steena's website Findaway Voices
