Today's episode is with NY Times Bestselling author Jodi Meadows! I was lucky enough to sit down with her to talk about her book Nightrender. This was recorded during covid (I had some personal things that delayed the publishing), and since the sequel Dawnbreaker is out this week, I knew it was the perfect time to publish this awesome conversation. We talk about where she drew inspiration, what it was like getting into the minds of three completely different characters, writing the scary stuff, and so much more. If you’ve read book 1, this episode will be a nice refresh before digging into book 2. And if you haven’t started the series, this will give you some great insight into this amazing world and awesome characters. I hope you enjoy! Follow Jodi!
