In this episode, we’re joined by Jade Presley and discuss how she got started writing, what surprises her most about being an author, and what attracted her to the why chose trope. We spend the bulk of our conversation with Jade discussing her latest romantasy, The Never List, discussing what inspired the various lands in Lumathyst, her writing process for the book, character development, and the various themes of enthusiast consent, control of information, and the imbalance of power that are prevalent throughout the novel. Plus, we ask her a ton of questions about what happens in the book and get her to spill some secrets about what it all means and what we can expect in the second book in the series.
