Stacie Grey knows how to keep readers on the edge of their seats. She is not only a mystery lover, but a biotech researcher by day, and a psychological thriller writer by night. She lives in Alameda, California, with her husband and dog, where she crafts pulse-pounding stories that twist and turn. Her latest release, She Left, is a psychological thriller that has been keeping readers up at night since it was published by Poisoned Pen Press in May 2024. That’s because "She Left" isn’t your ordinary thriller—it explores a decades-old massacre, survivor’s guilt, and a chilling reunion where not everyone will make it out alive. Stacie Grey's sharp writing delves into the darkest corners of buried secrets. And just when you think you’ve figured it out—well, we can almost guarantee you haven’t. If you love mysteries packed with tension and a side of jaw-dropping twists, you’re in the right place. We are beyond excited to have a true talent in psychological suspense on the podcast!

From small-town Iowa to the chilling depths of psychological thrillers, get ready for plot twists and edges of your seat stories. Bestselling author Tony Wirt had an early start to his writing journey—his first publication was in first grade when a hard-hitting essay on Airplane II: The Sequel made it into the Lake Mills Elementary School’s Creative Courier. Then, as a proud graduate of the University of Iowa, he spent nearly a decade doing media relations for the Hawkeye Athletic Department, where he got to witness the thrill of sports up close—and maybe developed a few thriller plots? His debut novel, A Necessary Act, was named Reader’s Choice novel of the year by Underground Book Reviews. His latest book, Just Stay Away, hit shelves in 2023, and his upcoming thriller, Pike Island, which promises to be just as beautifully creepy, is set to release in November 2024.Dive into the ins and outs of these thrilling stories with us as we welcome Tony Wirt to the podcast!Tony Wirt website:https://www.tonywirt.com/To buy the novel, Pike Island:https://www.amazon.com/Pike-Island-Thriller-Tony-Wirt-ebook/dp/B0CF399F43/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=VxQmT&content-id=amzn1.sym.cf86ec3a-68a6-43e9-8115-04171136930a&pf_rd_p=cf86ec3a-68a6-43e9-8115-04171136930a&pf_rd_r=138-5214607-7956614&pd_rd_wg=1DZrZ&pd_rd_r=e16d006c-3560-4360-84d3-cac3c418945b&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk#authorpodcast #authortube #authorvlog #authorpodcast #writing #writer #author #writerslifewednesdays #writingtips #writingadvice #writingabook #amwritingpodcast #am-writing Podcast Links Email: [email protected] Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/@angiechristiewn Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/angiechristiewritenow Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/AngieChristieWriteNow Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/angiechristiewn.bsky.socialThreads: http://www.threads.net/@angiechristiewritenow TikTok: http://www.tiktok.com/@angiechristiewritenow YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@AngieChristieWriteNow Website: http://www.angiechristiewritenow.wordpress.comAngie's Links Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/@angiesandro FB Page: http://www.facebook.com/253044268078356Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Angie-Sandro/e/...

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome back a very special guest—the first author to join us on the podcast—Blakely Chorpenning! Her talent for crafting immersive, emotional stories left a lasting impression and now, with the release of her latest novel, Requiem, the second book in the Sinners and Saints series, we couldn't be more excited to catch up with her again, and dive deeper into the gripping world of vampires, danger, and tough choices. In "Requiem," Alice's world spirals into darkness as she confronts her deepest fears and an insidious supernatural threat. Haunted by her past and grappling with newfound abilities, Alice faces an impossible choice: trust the enigmatic Wolf to guide her through the treacherous realm between life and death, or risk entanglement in a web of deceit spun by those closest to her. As she battles to save Gesick—the introverted bookworm who's stolen her heart—from his own bloodthirsty nature, Alice strikes a perilous bargain that may cost her everything. With a malevolent force hell-bent on vengeance closing in, she must navigate a volatile underworld where her very essence hangs in the balance. Will Alice's resilience prevail against the relentless assault on her soul, or will she succumb to the darkness that threatens to consume her? "Requiem" plunges readers into a spellbinding world where love, betrayal, and redemption collide. This haunting sequel delves deep into the heart of obsessive-compulsive darkness, delivering pure terror that will leave you breathless.

Hey everyone! Welcome back! This week, we meet Robert Wayne McCoy, a dark fantasy and horror author of short and long fiction. Robert’s writing journey begins as a young child with a learning disability which, although diagnosed, was managed with difficulty. Undeterred and determined to succeed, Robert went to college for a theater degree which eventually led him to discover the joys of writing his own stories. Robert credits his cousin, award-winning horror and science fiction novelist, Thomas F. Monteleone, with helping him grow into the writer he is today and his publisher, Matt Sinclair of Elephant’s Bookshelf Press, with teaching him how to edit his stories. We also discuss how Robert pens his stories and the link between all his novels, including his latest one, The Game Of Five. Join us for a truly touching and enlightening episode with Robert. Robert is offering a copy of his newest book, "The Game Of Five", to one lucky listener!

Welcome to our debut interview, which also happens to be our Halloween episode! This week, we meet Blakely Chorpenning, the multi-genre author of “Souled Out”, “Sinner” and “Tin Moon”.

Blakely explains how she is truly a pantser who loves for her characters to surprise her with unexpected story twists and fantasy elements. We also discuss her decision to self-publish after finding an agent, and how she discovers her stories. Blakely is offering a book giveaway to one lucky listener!
