| A Cryptid Christmas Promo | 05 Oct 2022 | 00:51:45 | |
Special Episode - A Very Cryptid Christmas panel Content note: We’re an explicit rated podcast but just in case you listen with littles or at work or something, this episode is pretty much writing about sex with monsters. Enjoy! Maybe with headphones. Season 3 will start officially next week, with an interview with Storm Faerywolf. In the interim here’s a special episode with 6 writer friends about our new anthology coming out October 18 with Moon Tan Press. D.S. Dane, Su Fertall, Gemma Snow, E.C. Spaur, Lulu M, Sylvian (previous guest) and Wednesday Wheeler joined me to talk about why we wrote stories about hot cryptic romance for Christmas/Solstice. D.B. Sieders (upcoming guest) couldn’t join us but she got some words in from her family vacation. Yes, this episode is basically an ad but I was also honored to work with this group of writers, two of which have their debut romance stories published in this anthology, and I think you’ll enjoy meeting them and finding out a little bit about why we all chose the cryptids we did in order to spread some hot holiday cheer. In the book you’ll encounter a host of cryptids (and mythical creatures) with romance and/or hookups for everyone. Find more from these authors: D.S. Dane: Su Fertall: D.B. Sieders: Gemma Snow: E.C.

Content warning: episode includes extensive discussion of death, dying, and things that happen to human bodies after death. There is also a brief discussion of the sexual assault of a minor. Take care of you and if you need to skip, we’ll be here next week. Mortellus is swiftly becoming—if they aren’t already—the authority on pagan death and dying and the rituals around death and dead.
