This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, I'm taking a turn into non-fiction. I don't often feature non-fiction but I do enjoy it. Today's guest is Ginger Stache, who is the Chief Creative Officer for Joyce Meyer Ministries and host of Talk It Out Podcast. She co-wrote Joyce's latest book, Healing the Wounds of Rejection, which carries an important message for everyone, not just those of a faith backgroun...
This week on LiteraryHype Podcast, I'm thrilled to welcome K.X. Song back to chat.

Britney rage-wrote this book after seeing Bonnie Bennett not get the storyline she deserved on The Vampire Diaries and deciding black female characters deserv...
This week's episode of LiteraryHype Podcast is a treat. Most people recognize the name Bruce Lee for his epic (and tragically too short) career in martial arts and film.

She turned to beloved author Fonda Lee to write this novel with her. Now, "Breath of the Dragon" is...

San Diego Comic Con week is here! If you can't attend the show in person, the next best thing is to read about it. Shameez Patel's first novel published in the USA will do just the trick. Playing Flirty has some ties to SDCC (that I'll let you explore for yourself!) and lots of nerdy love formed over a board game. We're talking all things fandom this week on LiteraryHype Podcast!

F.T Lukens is mashing up all the genres in "Love at Second Sight". It's a paranormal romcom with a murder mystery. Oh, and it feels very cozy fantasy all at the same time. Think Heartstopper by Alice Oseman meets the fabulous world of The CW's show, Supernatural.
F.T. and I chatted all about the book, crafting, and more while at YallWest 2025.
