Part spoken word performance, part book club style discussion, and part exclusive author interview, Storytime With Desiree is the way to get your genre fiction fix.
Twice a month, we gather and break down some of the best reads the fiction book world has to offer. And when we're done discussing (read: arguing about) the book, we get up close and personal with the author, taking a peek into both their writing world and their story world.
It's like listening to a bedtime story, but for grown ups.
"Ghosts make a scarier enemy because you know you're not necessarily going to defeat them."
That's the premise of C. E. Martin's Ghostwalker, a supernatural military thriller in which an army of super soldiers is tasked with combating an army of malicious ghosts.
Yeah. Hard pass. Couldn't do that job. More power to y'all.
In this episode of Storytime With Desiree, I'm talking about angels and demons (no, not literally ... but yeah, sorta literally) with Monica Leonelle. In her excellent YA fantasy novel Instruments of the Angels, one poor, unsuspecting young lady gets caught int he middle of a centuries-long war between a group of archangels and a group of archdemons.
I can honestly say I don't envy her!
