Grant Ginder peaked at every age.

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 • Duration 18:52

Author Grant Ginder joined us at our headquarters to talk parties, the passage of time, and his novel So Old, So Young. Much like the book itself, our conversation spanned decades, touching on evolving friendships, wedding PTSD, and the realities of millennial middle age.

Over the course of two decades and five parties, a group of college friends navigates the messy realities of adulthood–new cities, new spouses, and plenty of growing pains. As life pulls them in different directions, they're forced to confront how friendship evolves, and if theirs will endure.

Cynical barmaid Aren Bellamore never saw herself as anyone's princess, least of all a cursed prince's prince's fiancée. But after a fake engagement draws her into a dangerous quest to save their kingdoms, she must face magic, monsters, and some very inconvenient feelings.

Kristen Loesch writes her own fairy tales.

Thursday, March 16, 2023 • Duration 35:06

Do porcelain dolls freak you out? Us too… We sat down with Kristen Loesch to talk all about her debut novel, The Last Russian Doll. She dives into the process of writing historical fiction, plus her fascination with dolls and fairy tales.

The Last Russian Doll weaves one family's tragic splintering into the larger tapestry of Russia's turbulent 20th century in a dual timeline. The 1990s timeline follows Rosie after her mother dies and Rosie returning to Russia, armed with little more than her mother's strange folklore and a single key. What she uncovers is a devastating family history that spans the 1917 Revolution, the siege of Leningrad, Stalin's purges, and beyond. The 1916 timeline begins with Tonya, whose actions will set off a sweeping story that reverberates across the country.
