Jeffe Kennedy, Jessie Mihalik

Join me today in a conversation with Jessie Mihalik as we discuss how she got her agent, her first book deal, and developing her process over time. Also how established authors helped her and how science fiction is different than fantasy.

You can find Jessie's books here (https://www.jessiemihalik.com/books/), including her May 19 release, CHAOS REIGNING.

How I'm feeling done with video meetings, bailing on a book at 90%, buying a new car, middle books, and how fun it is to have a screenwriter talk about how they'd film your book.

This is the wonderful article I mention on the real "Lord of the Flies." (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/09/the-real-lord-of-the-flies-what-happened-when-six-boys-were-shipwrecked-for-15-months)

Mulling what "cross-genre" really means for SF and Fantasy Romance authors, if we accept the premise that SFF is setting, theme and ambiance, rather than an actual story structure.

Talking today about process, owning it - and how it's okay to get hives hearing about someone else's process. Also raving about the movie Wild Rose, discussing art and sacrificing for it - and conversely, taking time off.

The movie Wild Rose is here (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5117428/).

Leslye Penelope's podcast on process is here (https://lpenelope.com/2020/02/everything-is-fine-my-imaginary-friends-episode-53/)

Updates on new book titles and some appearances for the release of THE FIERY CROWN. Otherwise I'm burbling with optimism about new projects, plans for the new year, and meeting new friends on private jets!*
