What do I write? Thanks for asking. I write a fantasy serial called Amy of Earth as Kelli Wieland. A lost human, a childlike shapeshifter, an angry cuegle, a crazed myrmidon, and a wine guzzling thicket. As Melissa Banczak And I write cozy mysteries. How to Sex Your Snake is the first in my June Nash Series. 4 Bullets and a Ghost is the first in my Jack You're Dead Series. With Lisa Mahoney, I write the Roll-A-Prompt Writing Journal Series. You’ll find them all here - https://linktr.ee/melissabanczak

Until next time, go read a good book,

Good Adventures,

This week, I’m chatting with author Nikolai Wisekal about his weirdly wonderful serial Galaxy Waffles. It's waffle house in the sky but with robots, sushi thieves and politics. It's a must read that will keep you laughing.
