It's been pouring rain in California and that is both a very good thing and a bit of an issue. We need the water, preferably not all at once. It is perfect reading weather as long as you can be warm and dry and still have power. It's also perfect writing weather and...
This is the last episode of season three. We’ll be back in three weeks with all new interviews with witchy, pagan, and occult writers and I hope a few more surprises along the way. After a very serious discussion of notebooks too nice to write in, Temperance and I...
Lisa McSherry, like a lot of writers, has a lot of books in her head. We chatted about her most recent project and her writing career as a prolific but largely unknown author. I hope that changes as she has great things to say about magic and witchcraft and being in...

Via Hedera and I talk about the messy fruit salad that is American culture, folklore, religion, and magical practice and the benefits of academic access and uninterrupted writing time. If you haven’t already read her book Folkloric Witchcraft and the Multicultural...
My friend D.B. Sieders and I talk finding your own process, how to write sex scenes without using words we hate, and offer each other a lot of mutual appreciation. If you don’t already know D.B.’s work, I enjoy you the joy of discovery. Tiny note that there was a...
