Interview with an Author | Jeaniene Frost| A Curse of Beasts and Magic!

We have been excited for this episode since Liz & Liz began! (We know …CRAZY!) You always hear about “auto-buy authors,” and today’s guest is exactly that for Liz S. ❤️‍🔥 Liz discovered Jeaniene Frost back in 2008 through her beloved Night Huntress series (which you’ve DEFINITELY heard us rave about multiple times) and introduced Liz G to her books years later.. We feel very confident to say this has been a long time coming. And now, Jeaniene is HERE with us on the podcast! 🥳🎙️ Her brand new book, A Curse of Beasts and Magic, releases TOMORROW, and trust us when we say: YOU. NEED. THIS. BOOK. 🔥🐉🧜‍♀️ Also…there may be an extra special reason to tune in 👀 We have a special giveaway we are partnering with Jeaniene on and we cannot WAIT for you to find out what it is! Catch the episode wherever you watch or listen to podcasts… we’ll see you there! 🖤

Interview with an Author | Cynthia Pelayo| It Came From Neverland

🎙️ WE ARE BACK! 🎙️ After a short hiatus, Liz & Liz is back with an incredible interview with Cynthia Pelayo, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of It Came From Neverland! ✨ Coming June 9th, It Came From Neverland is a retelling focusing on Wendy after her adventures in Neverland, blending the beloved world of Peter Pan with the chilling horror vibes of Stephen King’s “It” in a dark retelling set during WWI. Creepy, haunting, and impossible to put down (just make sure your lights are turned on! 💡) A huge thank you to Cynthia and her team for sitting down and talking with us! We had the BEST time! 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts. We can’t wait for you to join us! See you there!
