QWS S5E1 Samantha Byres and Troy Hunter New season, brand new episode! In QWS S5E1, Troy chats with Samantha Byres about her debut novel DEAD ENDS, a fantastic, dark, hilarious, queer, horny book about being trapped in the past in your 30s, being stuck with your family, about loss, and making many bad decisions while looking for a second chance. They chat about how Sam manages to write comedy and drama together so well, how they write about messy sex, how Sam’s obsession with the 90s NZ TV show Sensing Murder (it’s on YouTube) informed her novel, as well as their shift from writing short stories to writing a novel. We laughed so much making this episode! Books and things Sam recommends: - Heart Lamp by Banu Mushtaq - Look Who’s Morphing by Tom Cho - 100 Boyfriends by Brontez Purnell - Self-Help by Lorrie Moore - Sensing Murder TV show You can find Sam on Insta at @thescarletttbitch and Dead Ends at Hosted by Troy Hunter who you can find on Insta @troyhunterwriter and at www.troyhuntwriter.com Troy is the author of Gus and the Missing Boy and Gus and the Burning Stones #Gayauthor #Queerwriting #adultfiction #WordsandNerds #LGBTQIABooks #NewZealandauthors #UQP
