It's time for Episode 11 of Turn the Page: The Indie Book Podcast with your host, Kay!

Today, I’m joined by the fabulous E.V. Belknap, author of the paranormal fantasy novels The Tenfold Tenants and Stake Around and Find Out.

In this episode, we’ll be chatting about:

• The inspiration behind E.V.’s quirky and loveable characters, including a coffee-fuelled villain-turned-caretaker and a wannabe vampire.
• E.V's writing process, balancing creativity with work & parenting, and the challenges (and triumphs) of bringing indie books to life.
• Why found family is such an important theme in E.V's stories.

Plus, peek into E.V's next project, and get three indie book recommendations to add to your TBR.

If you love your fantasy with humour, heart, and a touch of the unexpected, tune in now!

(Please note: We experienced some minor connectivity issues towards the end of the episode. Apologies for any blips in sound quality.)
