We hope you listened to our author interview with Mary Desch, because Tangled Darkness has dropped and we are here to spill! This psychiatric thriller threw us for a few loops, even prompting Lauren to bring in her girlfriend as a consultant. Our conclusion? Michelle should've just worked in dermatology.

This is our last episode before we go on summer break. Try not to miss us too much, and we encourage you to read Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid for our return! We will drop a couple of surprises for you before we return for Season 3.

This week on the pod we’re talking all things American in Paris with friend of the pod, Margaret Vandenburg! As always Margaret brings the most thought provoking answers to our questions! We even talk sister wives, polyamory, and gun control! If you want your spirit lifted and your ideas challenged, this is the episode for you! Sadly we missed Haylie during this interview due to the continued nightmare that is the airline systems but she’ll be back next week! Love you guys!

Author of Tangled Darkness Mary Desch brings us her genuinely joyful stories, special insights into the writing of her debut novel, and nuggets of wisdom in this conversation. She talks candidly with us about the loneliness she has felt at times, in contrast with the queer community she has been able to seek out at different scales throughout her life. We get a window into her writing process, how her career as a psychiatrist influences her character building, and what the feedback process of writing a novel looked like for her.

Perhaps our favorite, she shares a special moment between her and her Gamma when she was six, and the message that has stuck with her since - "to thine own self, be true." Thank you Gamma, Shakespeare, and Mary. We treasure this conversation.

You can visit Mary's website to purchase a copy of Tangled Darkness, read her blog, and get news about her upcoming work. If the Sisters in Crime interested you as a reader or writer, here is the link to their page.
