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!
Until Next Time, Friends!

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. If you're interested in learning more about Sandra or her business, check out wildflowershypnotherapy.com, or wildflowershypnotherapy on instagram. Until Next Time, Friends!

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. I’d really love that and would be so grateful! Until Next Time, Friends! P.S. Be sure to check out today’s sponsor!

We got together this week to talk about a project we've been working on for several months now, and since it releases to the world on December 5, 2023, we figured this was the perfect chance! We also (and by we, I mean "me") got on a tangent about Pinterest and how important it is. I hope you enjoy, and I'll be back next week with a new Christmas episode! Until Next Time, Friends!

Steve Westenra is a new friend of mine, who very kindly agreed to chat with me on today's podcast episode. We had such a great time chatting, and I know you'll love today's episode as much as I do! I definitely plan to have him back at some point. Maybe for a book chat? Let me know in the comments over on https://thepickybookworm.com/steve-hugh-westenra and let us know a book you'd like us to read and chat about. For today's episode, we covered subjects that could each be several hours in themselves, but sadly, the episode is only just over an hour. So I guess you'll have to come back! Until Next Time, Friends!
P.S. there are a couple points that Steve forgot we don't cuss on the podcast, but it was toward the end of the episode, so please excuse the language. I'm only noting this because I do have to mark today's episode explicit just in case. We also talk about sex in books, even though we don't go into explicit detail.

Stacia Kaywood was so kind to join me today for another episode of The Picky Bookworm podcast! Stacia is a romance author, with one book currently available and more on the way. She loves writing happily ever after stories, and even though the story in the middle isn't always the cheeriest, knowing how the story is going to end gives her the push she needs to keep writing. She loves getting inspired from all sorts of things, and when she started writing mid-pandemic, she kept that inspiration close so she would know she could do it. I absolutely loved chatting with her, and I hope you enjoy our discussions surrounding book covers! Head over to my website for notes on today's show, links to Stacia's book, as well as her social media, so you can hang out with her. If you enjoy today's episode, please share with your friends, and leave a comment! I love them and respond to each one! Until Next Time, Friends!

The way he sees it, if he keeps saying it, eventually it might come true.

Sol, Spooky & John join me today to discuss the amazing book, The Orchid & The Lion. As I'm sure you know, OATL was written by my good friend Gabriel Hargrave, and it's SO good! The four of us get together to talk about what we loved about it, and why you should read it. 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!

As we chat, Chris described his favorite type of book as "one that makes me wrong in some way." As we chatted, I realized I love those types of books too! When a book makes us question our existence, or place in the universe, such as Children of Time or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, we get to change our views on certain things, and discover the importance of others.
Chris's books:
Fermi's progress 1, Dyson's Fear
Fermi's Progress 2, Descartesmageddon
Fermi's Progress 3, Planet of the Apiaries
Fermi's Progress 4, The Phone Job.

Trigger Warning: Some of our conversation is about our respective miscarriages, and what it means to feel alone through the emotional trauma. If miscarriage, abortion or stillbirth triggers you, please give this episode a pass. I'm not looking to hurt anyone. You will see me call a friend of mine "Twinnie" on Twitter a LOT. That twin is none other than Tanja, my guest for today! We get into some deep conversations about the meaning of poetry, how to get into reading poetry if it isn't your thing (or mine), and we touch on how much it means to us to have the deep conversations.

Taken from Amazon's blurb: Cain Slays Abel! The truth behind that simple story is vastly more complicated than anyone could imagine. It is a life-altering headline, at least for me it was. Twice a simple tale of murder turned my life upside down. I am Richard St. Martin, Lord of all Vampires, but before my story can be told, you need to learn the story of the first Lord of all Vampires, Cain. My stepchildren call him Father Cain because he was the first. To ferret out the truth behind the tale, I had to recruit two talented mortals: Dr. Jeremiah Banks, Archaeologist, and Professor Juan Di Vargas, Theologian and Religious Scholar. Together they found the secret origin of the vampires. The Curse by Kethric Wilcox takes another vampire myth/trope and turns it on its head. I hope you enjoyed today's reading, and I hope you'll purchase this book to support the author. Please head over to my website, thepickybookworm.com/podcast, for more info on how to purchase, and to leave me a comment on what you thought of today's episode! Until next time, bookworms!

This book has been sitting in my kindle library for a while, and I know now I need to get it on my TBR for this year. Based on this first chapter, I know this is a book I will enjoy. I'm looking forward to reading more, and getting a review to you! I hope you enjoy! P.S. I won't ever make a good audiobook narrator, as I can't seem to read a book out loud without a couple mistakes. I hope you forgive me.
