  • Chapter 76 - Writing Historical Mystery with Norman Woolworth
    Feb 22 2026

    Are you ready to go back in time and solve a mystery? Sure you are! I’m delighted to share chapter seventy-six of Literary Blend with Norman Woolworth all about writing historical mystery. During our fabulous chat, we talked about blending history and mystery, dual timeline narratives, writing a mystery or thriller as a plotter or pantser, choosing settings, and much more. Whether you write historical mysteries or not, this chapter of the show is full of gems for all authors. I loved having Norman on Literary Blend, so I hope you have a blast listening and learn more about historical mystery along the way.

    Happy almost Valentine’s Day! There’s no better time to talk about romance, so I’m super excited to share chapter seventy-five of the show with Thea Landen all about romance reader expectations.

  • Chapter 74 - Being a Multi-Genre and Hybrid Author with Rebecca Minelga
    Jan 25 2026

    Do you like writing more than one genre? Are you interested in both traditional and self-publishing? Well, you’re in luck, because Rebecca Minelga sat down with me for chapter seventy-four to cover being a multi-genre and hybrid author. We chatted about the pros and cons of writing in more than one genre and pursuing a hybrid career, and Rebecca shared personal experiences from her own publishing journey. I really enjoyed having Rebecca on the show for this conversation, so I hope you love listening and gain insight into the life of a multi-genre and hybrid author.
