Genre Mixing, Magical Worlds & Fearless Writing: LeAnna Shields Sits Down with the And I Thought Ladies

What happens when a multi-genre author who blends paranormal mystery, steampunk, and cozy fiction meets two of the most dynamic literary voices in the indie author world? Pure creative magic — and a conversation you won't want to miss. LeAnna Shields, Colorado-based author of the beloved Mystic Ranch Cozy Mystery series and host of The Cozy Sleuth podcast, welcomes the iconic "And I Thought Ladies" — award-winning pop culture poets, authors, and media powerhouses Wilnona Marie and Jade Dee — for a candid, inspiring deep dive into the art of genre mixing in modern writing. LeAnna is no stranger to blending genres herself: her Mystic Ranch series seamlessly fuses paranormal women's fiction, cozy mystery, and Indigenous mythology into something entirely its own. She brings that same bold, boundary-breaking energy to this conversation as she explores what it truly means to defy genre conventions with two women who have been doing it for years.
