From Deities to Deep Throats: A Stellar Ride with Mina Brower

Gods who beg. Dreams that fuck. Grief, guilt, and galaxy-sized smut.

In this unholy episode, debut indie baddie Mina Brower takes us on a wild ride through A God of Moonlight and Stardust, her slow-burn, soul-punching romantasy where a haunted heroine is torn between two powerful men: one who mourns her, one who dreams of her, and both who want to ruin her in ways that are… spiritually devastating.

We go deep (in every sense) on writing trauma with tenderness, slipping spice into celestial settings, and the anatomy of a good "squelch" scene. Plus, Mina spills the behind-the-scenes filth—including dream threesomes, villain worship, clit-sucking commentary, and why the word “grind” should win a Pulitzer.

Featuring a “Sip & Strip” segment that had us sweating and a quote so filthy it nearly broke the transcript.

Spoiler-free. Spiritually feral. Galactic thirst turned all the way up.
You’re not ready—but press play anyway.

GRAB YOUR COPY OF: A God of Moonlight and Stardust!

Ever wondered which vampire gives the best head in Carissa Broadbent’s world? Or which sex scene made her blush while writing it at Starbucks surrounded by senior citizens? (Yup, that happened.)

This week on Cocktails & Cliterature, we sip and strip with the crowned queen of romantasy herself to talk all things The Fallen and the Kiss of Dusk, the broody brilliance of Asar, and why Mische might just be the fiercest, most emotionally feral sunshine in the underworld.

We dive into vampire lore, kink inspo, favorite dirty words, and what Carissa really thinks about “dick” vs “cock.” Spoiler alert: she’s got opinions, and we’re obsessed.💅

Grab your seltzer or your smutty cocktail of choice, this episode is dripping with spoilers, sass, and spicy secrets. Stream it wherever you get your pods. 🖤

Cancel your plans and light a damn candle! We're going deep into cursed libraries, shadow tentacles, and book boyfriends who bite. This week on Cocktails & Cliterature, I’m joined by the radiant chaos queen herself, Analeigh Sbrana, author of Lore of the Wilds, the romantasy debut that’s got readers moaning over morally gray Fae and heroines who don’t play nice.

We talk seductive tension that makes your Kindle sweat, why Black girl magic belongs in every magical realm, and how Analeigh went from indie author to trad pub baddie with two chocolate Fae and a fantasy world that’s dangerously delicious.

Redacted smut for mom? Check. Shadow magic in your ass? Obviously. A dark Fae prince whispering “you’re mine”? Baby, that’s just chapter one.

Welcome back to Cocktails & Cliterature, where the drinks are strong, the books are filthy, and the vibes are always main character energy.

Today’s guest is none other than Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author and spell-slinger behind Reluctant Witch and Remedial Magic. We’re talking memory-erasing magic, morally gray witches, queer longing, and deliciously dangerous intimacy.

Melissa spills all: from writing orgasm-induced unconsciousness to navigating consent in sapphic romance, her real-life exhibitionist adventures, and the emotional weight of reclaiming power through story. This episode dives into the messy magic of healing, sexual agency, and living fully after trauma.

✨ Bonus: Sip & Strip returns with questions too hot for daytime TV  and Melissa does not hold back.

Whether you're here for the spice, the softness, or the smarts, this one’s for you. Grab a drink (or a mocktail) and let’s get into it.

💋 Feeling seen? Feeling spicy? Then do your girl a favor, rate the show, tag us in your smut stack, and tell your group chat that Melissa Marr said “brunch with friends” is fair game.

Warning: This episode may cause sudden urges to buy wine, a vibrator, and a ticket to the nearest small town.

 We’re getting down with Stephanie Napolitano author of Fall from Grace and baby, it’s not just the characters who are getting emotionally wrecked and absolutely railed. We talk missionary magic, pool table filth (yes, that scene), and why dirty talk is a love language. Stephanie spills on writing while her life was falling apart, letting her characters finish inside (and out), and why there’s zero room for shame in a steamy love story.

Come for the trauma. Stay for the trench coat. You’ve been warned.

FYI...
We get into:
 🍑 Writing missionary like it’s a spiritual experience
 💦 Dirty talk vs. primal groans (why not both?)
 👨‍👧 The hot bartender single dad we’d let ruin us
 🛁 The bathtub scene that’ll have your Kindle fogging up
 🫠 Healing through heartbreak, fiction, and filth
 🫣 The line Stephanie wrote that her family definitely read (oops)
 🍷 Real talk on postpartum, divorce, and rediscovering your power

Plus, the real reason you should never Google Grace Harrington.
