Good Adventures,

The name JP Rindfleisch might ring a bell because he's one of the hosts of Writers, Ink. Or mabye you discovered him on tiktok thanks to the perfect elevator pitch for his novel, Mandrake Manor.

Either way, you'll really enjoy this week's show. I was thrilled to chat with JP about his work because Mandrake Manor has been one of my favorite reads this year. It's cozy, there are witches, and an evil HOA. Anyone who lives in one of those will love this book! Plus, if you visit his site, you can not only get signed books, but merch too! I love when authors do this. Comment over on our Youtube channel.
