Sandra and Kasey had an Idling Book Club moment and… brace yourself… Kasey had notes! Like, prepared notes and everything. You’re intrigued now, aren’t you?

Do you enjoy paranormal romance? How about something inspired by a little television show called Supernatural? Are you a lover of Wincest or J2 fanfic? Then this author interview is for you.

Laura Rye and Bailey R. Hansen are co-authors of the “A Monster By Any Other Name” Series. Sandra and Kasey read the first book in the series, “Freak Camp,” before the September 7th release of Book 4, “Fortress.”

(Note: “Fortress” was originally scheduled to release September 1st if there’s any confusion when listening.)

Sandra and Kasey had an amazing discussion with Laura and Bailey about fandom, fanfic, and the road to publishing original fiction.
