In this bonus episode of Gravely Curious, authors Gena Showalter and Jill Monroe pull back the curtain on Season One with a fun Q&A, sharing how Jane’s podcast came to be, who voiced which characters and why cemetery legends and quirky ads became part of the storytelling.

They also reveal where the series fits within the Jane Ladling Mystery timeline, tease what’s ahead for future seasons, and celebrate the release of the Twelve Graves of Christmas audiobook, narrated by the talented Kelli Tager, who closes out the episode with a special narration from Romancing the Gravestone.

Jane Ladling presents the perfect fail-proof recipe to spice up the holidays. Or ruin them. Baker’s choice!

Mix a murderous cat with a goofy corgi. (Ignore any hissing. That definitely probably means the two ingredients are blending amazingly well.) Then add a landlocked cemetery allegedly peppered with gold-stuffed coffins. Whisk in a gravekeeper convinced a family curse forever dooms her to lose any man she loves. Marinate with a ridiculously charming special agent whose muscles and lopsided smile make her forget said curse. Toss in a pinch of mystery courtesy of an old, coded treasure map and crank up the heat. Broil, baby!

If no one dies, serve with a smile. If they do, smile wider.

And maybe, just maybe, Jane can solve a series of bewildering clues, end the curse for good, and finally find her own happily ever after. Or not.
