First Cup of Coffee with Jeffe Kennedy: October 29, 2021
News on choosing the SFWA Grandmaster, thoughts on jargon, closed communities, gaming, and being able (and willing) to explain niche knowledge to people who have no context for what you’re talking about.
First Cup of Coffee – November 1, 2021: Upon request, a discussion of fight scenes (including battle scenes), why I think they’re nothing like sex scenes, how the character transformation is totally different, and how I learned to write them anyway.
First Cup of Coffee – November 4, 2021: Thoughts on rereading my own books, world bibles, worldbuilding, the advisability of writing sequels and the perils of long series. Also story structure and why I think some books are lacking it, to their detriment.

Honestly!?: Episode #192 – Incorporating Wiener Dogs Into Our Weather Systems
On this week’s episode we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming and catching up on the past month of pop culture. Join us as we talk about the launch of Jesy Nelson’s solo career, the return of Shane Dawson, the rumoured John Mulaney/Olivia Munn break-up, and more!
Kingdom of Thirst: Episode 59: Dangerous Talents
In our post-Birthday Month recovery period, Abigail and author Amalia Dillin are revisiting some friends of the past: namely, the ghosts of Abigail’s very first Kindle purchases circa 2012. It’s a wild ride through time slips, Viking-ish lore, Outlander, and, regrettably, fudge. The featured book is DANGEROUS TALENTS by Frankie Robertson, because apparently Past Abigail had a Thing for Vikings.
The SSR Podcast: Episode 168: You Have a Match (with Emma Benshoff)
It’s Week 1 of New Reads November 2021! This year, we’re kicking things off with a conversation about You Have a Match by Emma Lord. This 2021 title — which combines serious Parent Trap vibes with influencer culture and mail-in DNA tests — was selected for Reese’s YA Book Club, which is a pretty big deal! On Episode 168, Alli and her guest discuss queer rep, portrayals of social media and technology in literature, and how much is “too much” in a novel. They also chat about the golden age of YA!
