Their works and reflections, will inspire you to connect with your creativity and express yourself to the world in whatever way makes you unique.

    Dinner with an MMC - MJ Perkins

    MJ and Ben Discuss the book-writing process and take a bit of an astral journey to interrogate one of her book's characters to force them to justify their exitstence (Follow along with MJ as she reads her short story: Part 1; Part 2) MJ Perkins is an author and a labor lawyer living in New York, writing about love, power, and Christmas. MJ is also co-owner of a recording studio in the Catskills where she and her husband narrate, record, and produce audiobooks, music, podcasts, and more. MJ’s debut novella, Fa La La La Law, is a cozy, romantic, magical tale about a lawyer who saves Christmas. It comes out November 1. MJ is also in the editing phase of a full length novel called Union Yes, a steamy contemporary romance about a labor lawyer who falls in love with a union organizer as they work together to unionize a circus. The best way to stay up to date on MJ’s progress and to have early access to pre-order links (coming soon!) is to go to mjperkinsbooks.com and sign up for her newsletter. MJ can be found on instagram at @mjperkinsbooks. She also co-hosts a podcast with three charming British authors (including previous Waking the Whispers guest Louis Urbanowski) called Book Juice, now available on YouTube and Spotify.
