Gather round, friends, because chapter sixty-six of Literary Blend is an extra special one with Jennifer L. Armentrout. She’s truly flourishing in the romantasy landscape, but you can’t have flowers without rain, and she got super candid about the highs and lows of her publishing adventure. Whether you’re a reader of Jennifer’s books or an author eager to hear golden wisdom from someone who has found tremendous success in publishing, this chapter is one you don’t want to miss. Also, if you’re a fan of the Blood and Ash series, you’ll especially love the plot twist. Jennifer is an absolute gem, and I’m so grateful she took the time to have such a fun and insightful conversation with me on the show.

AI has become a constant presence in the publishing industry, and it’s time to address the elephant in the room on Literary Blend. Katrina Lemaire joined me for chapter sixty-five of the show for a truly fantastic conversation about AI from the agent perspective. Both Katrina and I don’t support the use of AI, and we wanted to have a professional, informative, and insightful chat about the impact AI has on the querying process and artistic creation in general. Our conversation couldn’t have gone more perfectly, so I hope you enjoy listening and feel encouraged to fully embrace the creative process without the assistance of AI as you chase your author dreams.

Love is in the air because chapter sixty-four of Literary Blend with Gail Lynn is all about writing and submitting romance flash fiction. From tips for crafting compelling flash romance to the submission process and what editors look for, Gail and I shared so much amazing information. If you have never written romance flash fiction before, I hope our conversation inspires you to give it a try, and if you have, I hope you learn something new you can keep in mind on your journey.
