  • Episode 16 - April Sunshine
    Apr 18 2025

    Sitting down with April Sunshine, author of Sparrow (Into the Grey Book 1), a cozy fantasy about identity, friendship, and the courage to choose your own path. We talk about process, what it's like to release a book when you're out of the country, support systems, what to look forward to in the series, and the trend of smut in fantasy. Toward the end, we opened our Zoom up to some of April's friends and family for a Q&A session and a virtual toast to the novel.

    April is a fantasy bookworm originally from Florida, who loves art, history, and studying creating writing. A globetrotter with a passion for adventure, she can either be found travelling with her nose in a novel or listening to the rain with a hot coffee in hand while writing a book of her own.
