ACOFAE Podcast Presents: SPECIAL EPISODE 25: Our new friend, A. T. Qureshi!

ACOFAE welcomes award-winning and USA Today, Times, and Amazon bestselling author A.T. Qureshi to the podcast to chat about all things Starshine Valley! A.T., Jessica Marie, and Laura Marie are focusing on book three in the series; Baby Dragon Bookshop, but the interconnectedness of all of the books in the series is discussed as well as the organization and writing process of all three! Each book is set in a season and it's delightful to read a Baby Dragon Bookshop in the middle of winter! Cozy is the name of the game, as our enemies-to-lovers, Emmy and Luke, are coffee shop owners competing for a new business venture inside the local bookshop. They have a bit of a history and Emmy is determined to keep everything professional and win win win! Luke remembers everything and has never forgotten Emmy. Shenanigans ensue and everything is complicated by family dynamics, baby dragons, and expectations that can seem overwhelming. Full of joy A.T. takes Laura Marie and Jessica Marie though her process, her inspiration, and gives a few hints about the next release in this series: Rider of Dragons out in August 2026!

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bitten: “Never date a guy who’s like your father.”

ACOFAE realized that it's National Werewolf Day this week and figured, why not?! Why not throw it back to one of Laura Marie's very first werewolf books, very first thrifted book, and first book where everyone is 30+. That's right, everyone here in Kelly Armstrong's Bitten is over 30 and loves being a werewolf. Elena had to come around to it, but she also loves being a werewolf. It's the pack, and her ex fiancé, that are the issue. Instincts are hard to fight though and Elena is finding life away from the pack to be stifling, so when a series of crimes calls her back to her old life how can she resist? Join ACOFAE as they delight in supernatural creatures actually liking themselves while trying to solve a mystery, and cackle at Elena forgetting to call her current boyfriend. Priorities. The call of the wild and all that.

Beg.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: SPECIAL EPISODE 24: Our new friend Rachel Van Dyken!

ACOFAE welcomes to the podcast #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken to discuss her latest release Fallen Gods! A story that is close to the author's heart, _Fallen Gods _is a twist on classic Norse mythology that finds Rey as the daughter of Odin and Odin has an agenda - Mjölnir is missing and only Rey can wield it. Where Mjölnir is hidden remains a mystery that Rey has one week to crack or else. Nothing can be easy for Rey though, as her mortal enemy Aric stands in the way of her and finding the hammer. Filled with banter and romance as well as female friendships and extremely fun college antics, Fallen Gods brings the mythology to the present day and ask the question: What if the gods were only sleeping?
