As a powerhouse of talent from the world of comedy and mystery writing, Meredith Hambrock is known for her knack for crafting memorable characters and her razor-sharp wit. She’s built an impressive career in television, working in writer’s rooms on over 100 episodes of TV comedy such as Executive Story Editor for *Corner Gas Animated*, a beloved Canadian sitcom, where her work earned her a Leo Award nomination (which is an award from the British Columbia film and television industry.)

Stacie Grey knows how to keep readers on the edge of their seats. She is not only a mystery lover, but a biotech researcher by day, and a psychological thriller writer by night. She lives in Alameda, California, with her husband and dog, where she crafts pulse-pounding stories that twist and turn. Her latest release, She Left, is a psychological thriller that has been keeping readers up at night since it was published by Poisoned Pen Press in May 2024. That’s because "She Left" isn’t your ordinary thriller—it explores a decades-old massacre, survivor’s guilt, and a chilling reunion where not everyone will make it out alive. Stacie Grey's sharp writing delves into the darkest corners of buried secrets. And just when you think you’ve figured it out—well, we can almost guarantee you haven’t. If you love mysteries packed with tension and a side of jaw-dropping twists, you’re in the right place. We are beyond excited to have a true talent in psychological suspense on the podcast!

From small-town Iowa to the chilling depths of psychological thrillers, get ready for plot twists and edges of your seat stories. Bestselling author Tony Wirt had an early start to his writing journey—his first publication was in first grade when a hard-hitting essay on Airplane II: The Sequel made it into the Lake Mills Elementary School’s Creative Courier. Then, as a proud graduate of the University of Iowa, he spent nearly a decade doing media relations for the Hawkeye Athletic Department, where he got to witness the thrill of sports up close—and maybe developed a few thriller plots? His debut novel, A Necessary Act, was named Reader’s Choice novel of the year by Underground Book Reviews. His latest book, Just Stay Away, hit shelves in 2023, and his upcoming thriller, Pike Island, which promises to be just as beautifully creepy, is set to release in November 2024. Dive into the ins and outs of these thrilling stories with us as we welcome Tony Wirt to the podcast!

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome back a very special guest—the first author to join us on the podcast—Blakely Chorpenning! Her talent for crafting immersive, emotional stories left a lasting impression and now, with the release of her latest novel, Requiem, the second book in the Sinners and Saints series, we couldn't be more excited to catch up with her again, and dive deeper into the gripping world of vampires, danger, and tough choices. In "Requiem," Alice's world spirals into darkness as she confronts her deepest fears and an insidious supernatural threat. Haunted by her past and grappling with newfound abilities, Alice faces an impossible choice: trust the enigmatic Wolf to guide her through the treacherous realm between life and death, or risk entanglement in a web of deceit spun by those closest to her. As she battles to save Gesick—the introverted bookworm who's stolen her heart—from his own bloodthirsty nature, Alice strikes a perilous bargain that may cost her everything. With a malevolent force hell-bent on vengeance closing in, she must navigate a volatile underworld where her very essence hangs in the balance. Will Alice's resilience prevail against the relentless assault on her soul, or will she succumb to the darkness that threatens to consume her? "Requiem" plunges readers into a spellbinding world where love, betrayal, and redemption collide. This haunting sequel delves deep into the heart of obsessive-compulsive darkness, delivering pure terror that will leave you breathless.
