We sit down with Anna J, Octavia Grant, and Olivia Renee Wallace to unpack Vengeance, a thriller built around a funeral home legacy and a family inheritance that comes with rules, secrets, and consequences. We talk craft, research, and how three distinct writers create a single voice while still keeping the story wild, funny, and grounded.
• how Vengeance is born through community connections and DMs
• why trust matters more than writing sprints for co-authoring
• building character profiles and letting characters drive the plot
• using afterlife narration and flashbacks to reveal motive
• shaping Celine and Solana as intentional opposites
• researching funeral homes, crime details, and realism in thriller fiction
• therapy and writing as a safe outlet for dark ideas
• the meaning behind “Precision Is Key” as a professional code
• real-life experiences with emergency departments, morgues, and funeral work
• upcoming book events, exclusives, and new releases
Be sure to come to the table and give me a hug.

We talk with erotic romance author Skyline A. Millbow about writing My Kind of Love with heat, consent, and emotional weight after life changed her relationship to romance. We dig into Club Inana, character inspiration, indie publishing lessons, and what it takes to keep writing when the story keeps talking back.
• moving from erotica reader to debut author and choosing erotic romance on purpose
• writing infertility and a hysterectomy without defaulting to pregnancy tropes
• building Club Inana as a consent-centred lifestyle club with clear boundaries
• using research and beta readers for lifestyle and BDSM-adjacent accuracy
• creating Enobi, Bronson, Zeke, and Jody from real experiences and friendships
• shaping trauma scenes through developmental editing and lived grief
• finding editors, ARC readers, and trustworthy collaborators through community
• indie author realities: cover art, marketing, shipping, timelines, and scams
• dealing with platform quirks like Amazon review changes
• upcoming releases The Fall and Where I Sleep plus future ideas like The Eve Gene
