Literary Deep Dives and Discussions
If you love stories beyond the surface, this is for you. Literary Deep Dives and Discussions is a podcast for readers and writers who crave depth and discovery. I explore the hidden layers of storytelling through deep dives into my own books and other literary works, breaking down themes, structure, and meaning. I host authors of various genres on craft and creativity, as well as hold a segment called "Who Wrote it?" where three authors join me in a fun game, uncovering which author wrote which page.
