SPECIAL EPISODE 006: Our new friend, Deanna Ortega!

ACOFAE Podcast presents: Our new friend, Deanna Ortega! ACOFAE welcomes author, Tiktok star, and our new friend, Deanna Ortega, to the podcast! Deanna is the bestselling author of The Cursed Kingdoms series with book 1 Ruin and Roses out now and book 2 Shadows and Lies out August 31st, 2022. In an attempt to keep this episode spoiler free Laura Marie, Jessica Marie, and Deanna make a valiant attempt to keep the details to a minimum but, it's hard when the characters are so wonderful and the spice is deliciously spicy. The conversation also dives into publishing challenges, the role of social media, and the pressure that come with being perceived. It's a bit chaotic but that's why it's fun. Women supporting women. Jessica Marie was VERY SICK during this UPDATE: [April 21, 2023] At the time of this recording, author went by "she/her" pronouns and now goes by she/they. Follow Deanna Ortega!

Om Podcasten

Hello there! We are your hosts, Laura Marie and Jessica Marie and this is A Court of Fandoms and Exploration: A Podcast. Every Monday, we discuss the epic highs and lows of YA literature, fantasy/sci-fi, and the tv shows (old and new) that made us the slightly-damaged young millennials we are today. Experience the life-altering realizations and unresolved trauma that only YA and sci-fi/fantasy can soothe as we explore the worlds of Sarah J. Maas in Prythian, Crescent City, and Erilea, and head over to Sunnydale, Elfhame and more! Thank you for listening to us!
