    Your Mom Talks Newsletters and Street Teams

    In today's episode, we discuss (AKA Charlie talks at Caitlyn) newsletters, ARC teams and street teams. A little bit of marketing 101 for trad and indie authors alike. This may or may not have been recorded in March. Whoops.

    Your Mom Reuses Elements in a Series

    Was this recorded two months ago? Yes. Listen, life happens. ;) Today Caitlyn and Charlie discuss reusing elements in a series, such as the same climax, same villains, and same premises between books. As a side note, Charlie doesn't understand ASMR videos. CHECK OUT CAITLYN'S NEW BOOK HERE. It's finally BIRTHED! (And spicy, be warned.) You can also scope out Charlie's nonfiction on writing magic systems here, and the fourth book of the Whimbrel House series (much less spicy than Caitlyn's, but there is some skinny-dipping) here.

    Your Mom Talks to James L. Sutter

    While Charlie frolics through England, author James L. Sutter (Co-creator of Pathfinder) hops on the podcast to talk about his new novel, DARK HEARTS. On the way, he and Caitlyn talk about queer identity, querying (no pun intended), adequacy, and more.

    Your Mom Is a Podcast Gremlin

    She's actually on vacation. Er, one of them is, but she took the podcast gremlin with her, so while no one is available to edit the podcast, Caitlyn will still be slaving away at her day job and recording next week's episode. Because she loves you the most. Today's away notice brought to you by the gremlin, who was let out of her cage for a whole three minutes to record it.
