Check out this week's discussion with Brad and Ro and thanks to follower Loki Jarson for suggesting the topic. We explore the concept of 'Death of the Author' in this deep dive where it's postulated once a work of art is out, it no longer belongs to the author. We explore the idea that the consumer attaches meaning to said project and that the author's original intent is no longer valid. Does it apply to long standing franchises like Star Wars where the original author is no longer in charge of the message? Do new authors need to refer back to the original text to formulate new stories? If they don't what may or may not be missing? We get into the weeds on this. Another Scarif deep dive. We hope you enjoy it.

EP227 Death of the Author

A dash of mystery, a sparkle of magic, and all things cozy! Elle interviews fellow cozy authors in this bookish podcast from Authors on the Air.

Today on the podcast, meet Leah Cutter, author of magical cozy mystery like The Water Witch mysteries and delicious cozy fantasy like the Ice Elf series–and many other books besides! Elle and Leah talk about Leah’s writing process, water magic, quirky characters, and the joy of discovering a new world. Happy listening!

Leah’s Bio:

She writes fantasy, mystery, science fiction, literary, and horror fiction. Her short fiction has been published in magazines like Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine and Talebones, anthologies like Fiction River, and on the web. Her long fiction has been published both by New York publishers as well as small presses.

Elle Hartford’s Bio:
Elle Hartford writes cozy mystery with a fairy tale twist. The award-winning first book in her Alchemical Tales series, Beauty and the Alchemist, finds amateur sleuth Red mixed up with murderous beasts and moody beauties, and a set of missing books besides! 

Elle has also written two spin-off series, the cozy fantasy-goes-to-the-beach Marine Magic series as well as Pomegranate Cafe Romance. For other writers and authors looking into “wide” indie publishing, Elle offers coaching as well as the Beyond Writing blog (ellehartford.substack.com) with how-tos and resources.

Leah Cutter ~ Water Witches and Ice Elves ~ Cozy Alchemy Ep. 6

We love a good thriller filled with twists and turns! We interviewed author, Alise Pulliam, about her psychological thriller, Triggered Aggression and her entire writing process. Find out who she based her characters on, her inspiration and advice she has for indie writers.

About Triggered Aggression:

Two friends discover that leaving behind buried childhood demons isn't as easy as it sounds.

Joelle and Kendra defied the odds of growing up abandoned and abused to grow into beautiful, smart, successful women. Now all they have to do is keep the past from coming back to haunt them.

Although the close friends choose different paths in life – Joelle married with children, Kendra unrestricted and free – fate reunites them just in time to create their dream wellness center. Together they uncover secrets to success that changes their lives.

Relying heavily on each other’s specific strengths and grit, they envision and manifest winning platforms, from signing high-profile clientele to attracting major sports teams. All is well until they lose sight of what’s really important and are drawn back toward familiar evil and darkness.

The stress of the newfound success exposes hidden mental illness and triggers jealousy and infighting. Addiction, adultery, revenge, and forbidden lust ensues, threatening to turn the dream of success into a hellish nightmare unless they confront suppressed memories and mend their fractured past.

Tautly written and filled with unexpected twists, Triggered Aggression is a rollercoaster ride of suspense and mind games that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the final shocking revelation.
