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.

Kids are heading back to school, so now is the perfect time for a book about school drama turning ugly, right?

I still don't know how I convinced John Scalzi to chat with me while we were at C2E2 earlier this year, but it happened and he's a hoot.

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.
