Bookcast Episode 138: Talking to No One in a Padded Room

I'm back after a week off but I have a  good excuse. In this episode I catch up on reading, go down a mystery rabbit hole (including the Lori Loughlin drama and why a series abruptly ended), and share a full breakdown of the Standard of Care soft launch. I also talk about a conversation I had with a longtime reader about why my books have changed, and why I'm writing shorter novels on purpose...and what burnout had to do with all of it.Books mentioned:Ms. Lorraine’s Late in Life Love by Taccara MartinThese Heathens by Mia McKenzieL.A.
