The Lies That Bind Us Podcast: Conversations about Stories

Some stories don’t just unfold—they pull you in and refuse to let go.In this episode, I’m joined by Ashley N. Pearce, author of Bound Together, a dystopian sci-fi novel where control is absolute and connection comes at a cost.We talk about the “what if” that sparked her world, the emotional weight behind her characters, and what it means to survive inside a system designed to break you.If you love stories that blend psychology, power, and deeply human connection… this one’s for you.You can find Bound Together on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DVDK8H9DConnect with Ashley N.

In the first episode of The Lies That Bind Us Podcast, author Sophia Zane explores the story behind The Lies We Whisper, the book that started the series.In this episode, Sophia discusses the inspiration for the novel, the psychology behind Hanna’s character, and the themes of trauma, survival, and the quiet battles people fight within themselves.This episode also introduces the purpose of the podcast — a place where readers and writers can come together to talk about stories, characters, and the moments in books that stay with us long after the final page.Future episodes will feature conversations with authors, reader roundtables, and discussions about the stories that shape us.
