Matthew's first novella, Her Changing Face, is out now! Andrew, Jack, and Matthew discuss the book in detail and offer some insight into what it's about.
Topics discussed include: our wild house parties of yesteryear that inspired the opening scene, the fact that the "Prelude" takes of 76% of the book, the difficulties of self-publishing, transgressive amateur strip clubs, how our personal experiences influence our writing, whether or not the book is sexy, the unusual structure of the story, and how awesome Andrew and Jack think the book is.

In the 1920s, Harry Houdini was on a mission to debunk mediums who claimed to communicate with the dead. This eventually led him to an extraordinary woman named Mina Crandon. Based on true events, Margery & Houdini relates how the most mystifying medium of her day and the most famous escape artist of all time came to meet each other - and how each struggled to prove the other wrong.
In Part Four, the committee tests Margery's powers by locking her in constraints, leading to a confrontation with Walter and the conclusion of the contest.
