Hello, friends! I got to know Steven Andrews along with you guys this week! We hadn't actually met before recording, and it was SO much fun getting to chat with him! During Pride Month, I've chosen to highlight some amazing members of the writing community who identify on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, and my friend Louis was kind enough to recommend Steven to come chat. I'm so glad he did, because Steven's book, That's Me in the Closet, sounds like such an amazing story! It's about his journey from an abusive/neglected childhood, to foster care, and finally to learning about himself as he identified as a bisexual man. He's currently a minister and counselor who aims to help others who have been in the closet to live fully and authentically as themselves. You can hang out with Steven online on Facebook and Instagram, using the handle 1actualyou. I hope you enjoy today's episode and be sure to let me know in the Q&A poll what you think about it!

Sandra Zambo is one of my oldest friends, and when we were chatting recently, we discovered that we've both started businesses around the same time! So, today's episode is a little different. Because Sandra's business is more brick and mortar, and mine is online, we've decided to discuss the differences and similarities between the two types of businesses, and what branding and marketing means to our types of business. I got to brag a little bit, and Sandra got to talk about one of her favorite subjects: hypnotherapy and what sets her soul on fire. I hope you enjoy today's episode, because we had a fantastic time! Our biggest takeaway from today's episode: find what sets your soul on fire and do that with all your heart.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy today’s episode! J.C. Murphey and I had such a fun chat, despite technical issues. We had to restart recording twice, so there are a couple gaps in recording, but hopefully things move smoothly other than that. J.C. comes on to talk about her book, Don’t Fear the Reaper (Now I really want to listen to the song!) and it sounds amazing! She markets it as dark fantasy dystopia, which is pretty much my bookish love language. I can’t wait to grab my own copy and read it. It’s book one in a trilogy, but she’s releasing a novella on Amazon that’s part of the story as well. I hope you grab it! If you’re reading this before May 31, 2024, it’s not out yet, but afterward? Head to Amazon now! I recommended a couple books to J.C., including the Shadow Demons Saga, which of course included my story about how salty I am about book 12. GRRRRR. I really need book 12, and I’m SO mad I can’t read it yet! I also recommended Let Him In, by William Friend, which I was about halfway through at the time of recording. I’ve since finished and reviewed on my blog. You can find that review here. Overall, we pretty much talked about everything under the sun. J.C. called it an ADHD party before we hit record, and I gotta say it was an accurate description. We had plenty of laughter and tons of deep talks, though, so I know you’ll have a great time. If you loved this episode, or any other episode on this podcast, sharing not only helps others find the podcast, but also lets the Spotify gods know it’s popular and they will start recommending it to people.

Please be warned, there are the occasional cuss words, which is unusual on The Picky Bookworm, and we are also discussing an erotic romance, so there may be the occasional mention of sex and/or sex work. We treated it all with the most respect we could, and I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to check out the Orchid & The Lion scented candles, available in The Picky Bookworm candle shop! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pickybookworm/support

Welcome back, my friends! Gabe Hargrave joined me again today. I'm super happy to have someone I can call in a pinch, when my scheduled guest isn't able to make it. He's probably one of my most popular guests, having held spots in my "top episodes" for at least a year. Today's episode is just as much fun, with one difference: I've actually read his books now! We get to gush about his books, and I learn so much about his writing process. Once you're done listening, or if you'd like to listen while reading more about Gabe, head over to https://thepickybookworm.com/gabe-hargrave-3 for show notes and links to Gabe's books. He has a new website you should totally check out too! It's GORGE! Until Next Time, Friends! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pickybookworm/support
