The Legendary Ladies are back after their winter hiatus with a new book club interview! This week, Amy, Kat, and Morgan interview author Fiona Fenn about her new, LGBTQ+ steampunk meets fantasy adult romance book! Set in a world where the villain is the main character, The Crack at the Heart of Everything follows Orpheus who, after helping conquer the world with his childhood best friend, realizes that the world he's been responsible for making isn't all it's cracked up to be. He's also been banished. And cursed. So there's that. Oh, and did we mention, he does get some help surviving this dastardly world of his own making from an annoyingly charming and irksomely handsome fellow who Orpheus may or may not be developing feelings for? Needless to say, things are getting complicated.
The author, Fiona Fenn, chats with our Legendary Hosts about everything from the publishing process, world building, LGBTQ+ representation in the world of adult fantasy, and where or not the publishing world is changing as self-publishing seems to have hit its stride in the last few years.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
