  • S4 E29 with Fantasy Author DC Gomez
    Dec 10 2024

    A long time ago, she used to enjoy long walks at the park and long days under the sun. Unfortunately, due to a mysterious condition, she is now allergic to those pesky UV rays. Rumor has it that her true nature is coming out and her vampirism is now showing. But don’t fear my friend, she doesn’t bite (much…).

    Now she has a legit medical condition to hide indoors and indulged her passions of reading, sometimes cooking, and of course writing. DC writes in multiple genres from Urban Fantasy, Contemporary Lit, YA, Children’s Books, and even Devotionals. Her dark sense of humor and infatuation for action/adventure can be found in many of her books.

    As a self-proclaim serial-hobbyist, her passions expand to podcasting as well as live hosting. You can find DC every Monday night interviewing a new author on her podcast Inside the Minds of Authors. If you enjoy a more active experience, catch her online live on her Amazon Channel – The Book Corner. Where she features authors releasing books within the next 90 days.

    Explored the website and check out many of her award-winning books (Death’s Intern, Plague Unleashed, Forbidden War, and The Origins of Constantine). Get lost in a mesmerizing adventure, full of quirky characters, zany plots, and always in the pursuit of their own tribe.

    Happy reading!

  • S4 E28 with Fantasy Author Loz Cadman
    Dec 3 2024

    Laurel 'Loz' Cadman was born and raised in Staffordshire, United Kingdom. She is an aspiring author who has been writing fiction since she was young. She went on hiatus after failing her GCSE English thus losing her confidence, thinking she will never become a published author, that is until the creative spark came back in 2021. Loz doesn't let anything stand in her way from achieving her dreams and always wants to prove to the world that people on the autism spectrum are capable with living independent and are able to achieve big!

    Reality bending fiction is what Loz loves to write about as she has always admire stories that defy reality and allow the imagination to run free. She has always found this to be her interest in all medias, especially in video games.

    Her debut novel 'Midnight Devotion' was written after attending a gig in Birmingham late October 2021 and she immediately became inspired to write again when she rediscovered her passion for fiction. She felt as though she would have full control of its content and the way it is being presented if she were to self-publish rather than going traditionally.

    Her love for rock and metal, along with ambient post rock music play a huge influence for her writing, especially for her vampire punk band novel series! Music is her biggest influence for creativity as she can emotionally connect to the music she listen to, whether it's music from video games, movies and TV, a playlist compiled by Spotify towards a certain genre, or connecting songs and albums to her memories.

    When she isn't writing, Loz would either be working out at the gym, playing guitar, playing video games, catching up on the wrestling, reading, gardening, or listening to music and a variety of podcasts.

    Loz currently resides in Staffordshire with her partner, her two house bunnies, and his two guinea pigs!
