Books 'n' Shit

Join me for another special episode featuring best selling author of The Wolf Den, Elodie Harper!

Elodie and I discuss the phenomenal history behind The Wolf Den and how she wanted to pay homage to the lives, loves and losses of these incredible women.

We touch on the publishing industry, the things indies should look out for as well what we consider to be some toxic relationship types in Fantasy/Historical Fiction.

Make sure to follow Charli and Elodie on Instagram. Sequel to The Wolf Den, The House with the Golden Door will be out in May 2022!!

I am joined on the first Live Stream of Books 'n' Shit by four unapologetically black female friends, to discuss the positive and negatives of Black Fiction and the state of the industry today.

We talk black love, good and bad representation by Black authors and what we can do as readers and writers, to dispel these stereotypes and create images of black excellence.

Follow all the lovely ladies on their socials here: @ayosfantasypodcast, @katrinawrites_, @amandatheeauthor, @writtenninmelanin to hear about their own endeavours including book subscription boxes, debut novels and new releases.

Happy New Year, One and All and welcome to first Books 'n' Shit episode of 2022!

There is a lot going on for me this year including having a baby, publishing my fifth novel, keeping up with this podcast and starting some new projects!

Have a quick chat with me about how i plan to tackle my 2022 TBR, how you can do the same and all the other fun things that are in store for the bookish world as well as the official release of Wolves of Duty!

I am still on the hunt for more ideas for upcoming Books 'n' Shit episodes, so make sure to send me your suggestions!

And just like that...a year of Books 'n' Shit has come to an end.

In the final episode of the season, I talk about all the wonderful things that have happened to me this year during my writer journey as well as what is coming up for me in the New Year.

Whether it's my reading goals, writing intent, meeting up with friends or oh yeah, having a new human to look after; 2022 is going to be an interesting year.

Let me know what you'd like to hear more of in the new year on the podcast and whether or not you'd like to feature on some of our more scheduled feature episodes.

Thank you all so much for the love you've shown BNS over the past year and i look forward to sharing more bookish fun with you soon!

Forget the heroes of the story, the Chosen Ones and lost princesses; what about the baddies!

Villains are such a large part of what makes up a good story/film and I thought it time to give them some spotlight!

A hero is nothing without a good adversary and in this episode, we discuss what makes a good or bad villain (04:40) and how villains like Thanos and the He Who Will Not Be Named Online, leader of a certain German 1940s group, are similar. I talk about a particular favourite villain of mine (17:25) as well as who I think are some notable villains in literature and media (21:20).

I update you all on my upcoming release of Wolves of Duty (03:07) and ways you can get involved!
