Special Guest Author M.J. Etkind

<p><strong>Paranormal romance… but make it a little deeper than witches and werewolves. 👀🐺🔮🌶️</strong></p><p>We’re spilling the spice with <strong>M.J. Etkind</strong>, and this conversation goes EVERYWHERE in the best way.</p><p>We’re talking about her journey from writing fanfiction to becoming a published romance author, creating paranormal worlds that still feel incredibly human, and writing characters who are allowed to be messy, complicated, and in charge of their own happiness.</p><p>We get into mental health and ADHD representation, relationships and career, addiction, reproductive rights, writing heavier real-life experiences into romance, and why an HEA doesn’t have to mean every part of someone’s life is suddenly perfect. </p><p>Plus, we obviously talk <strong>The Witch of Wall Street</strong>, <strong>The Lone Wolf Paradox</strong>, cozy small-town werewolves, world-building, indie publishing, what she might be writing next, and all the wonderfully chaotic bookish tangents you expect when you give us microphones. </p><p>A little magic. A little spice. A lot of heart.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is sponsored by </p><p><a href="www.bloomstories.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">www.bloomstories.com</a></p><p><a href="www.heathensandheartbreakers.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">www.heathensandheartbreakers.com</a></p>
