Show Notes Chapter Markers

AJ Arnault (Wattpad: @ajArnault) and I chat about her paranormal romance Never Kiss a Vampire.


Topics include mood writing and hard female rock. Plotting when you can’t plot ahead. Sex as power; love as vulnerability. Watty disappointments. Redefining self in the wake of a broken family. Imposter syndrome. Courage. Who we write to and why.

Also take a minute to look at the Wattpad profile @BootcampMentors as you prep for the Wattys! Since this interview, I have signed up myself! Maybe I'll be your mentor. ::queue my greatest fear-me smile::
