I've been a fan of Dr. Travis Langley's work in the Pop Culture Psychology series for years, but this one is close to my heart. Book 16 in the series focuses on Margaret Atwood's classic novel, "The Handmaid's Tale", the sequel, "The Testaments", as well as both the TV show and movie based on her work. Dr. Langley co-edited this book with Dr. Wind Goodfriend, and they asked me to write a little blurb for it, so if you pick up a copy using the links below, you'll get to see my name in print! I'm very excited about that little detail, as you can imagine, but I'm also eager for people to read this book because of the depth it will add to your watching and reading experience, like all of the books in this series do.

This conversation is a bit heavier than my normal author chats due to the weight of the topics involved in the story. Please take care of yourself while listening.

Melissa Wiesner is mixing love and a touch of magic in "Wish I Were Here". It's a story of wishing you didn't have to be the one to take care of everything for everyone, then discover your govenment identity suddenly vanishes. Of course, our type A heroine has to deal with a free spirit (who is also hot) on her journey to fix the problem. Melissa and I talk all about this novel in this interview.

Sean Gunn is best known for his acting in "Gilmore GIrls" and "Guardians of the Galaxy", but now he's also adding author to his title. Sean announced plans to publish a graphic novel called "Shepherds", so I caught up with him at Fan Expo Chicago to talk about it and get some early details!

I'll keep you posted when it's available to order. He told me off-camera that they haven't hired an art team yet, so we still have some waiting to do before this graphic novel is ready for us to devour.
