then proceeds to cover the usefulness of pinterest before diving into a tailspin of a bunny trail concerning the words "genre" and "YA"

WARNING!

there may be an inappropriate amount of passion concerning the silly topic, and the decibel of the conversation increases...ummm... a bit.

heya guys!

in this week's episode, there is no news.  mostly because vic spaced out on it...

moving on!

what we DO have is an awesome interview with author Kendra Saunders.

she self-published her debut novel INANIMATE OBJECTS, a "dark and glittering novel of artists and magicians, muses and immortals. At the heart of the story is Leonidas Bondi, a charismatic young artist who falls under the watchful gaze of Matilda August. Matilda has been a patron to the stars for hundreds of years, but this fickle muse is more than a little taken with her new protégé, blurring her own lines of work and obsession. Providing opposition is Matilda’s son, Elisha, a moody figure who holds revenge above all else after he suffers a terrible wrong."

i was impressed with her vivid imagination and insights into humanity.

i hope you enjoy the interview as much as we did!
