    Also, Alycia talks about her new read, Cutter's Deep by Ron McGillvray, a previous guest, and Stephanie gives up on Stephen King.

Funny, Rntertaining, and Informative

These ladies are frequently hilarious! Very funny banter between the two of them gets me laughing out loud. It’s also great to hear about books I would not have come across on my own. Keep it going!

How can I get my book on here?

I listen to Stephanie as she was a guest on another podcast which then made me check out her podcast and I really like what her and her partner are doing with these books and I just published The Puppet King my debut novel in July. It’s on Amazon and Barnes & Noble and I’m wondering if if they would ever pick apart my book like that? That would be totally awesome. TM Kornelsen

yuuuurrrrr ,

I’m home!

As a book lover, you have no idea how excited I was finding out this podcast existed. I first heard about the podcast when Sistas Who Kill did their recent Juneteenth episode. Very informative and I already have a whole list of books to add to my library 🤣. Love you guys keep up the great work
