Are you ready to step outside your comfort zone? I hope so, because Michelle Sanchez, a loyal listener of Literary Blend and one of my author friends, joined me for chapter seventy to chat all about writing unexpected genres. From blending the familiar with the unfamiliar and mixing different genre elements to create something fresh, our conversation is packed with our own experiences, insights, and advice for authors eager to take a trip down a new genre path. Also, Michelle’s plot twist is one of the most complex and unhinged on the show so far, and now, she’s haunted by salad. Listen to find out why. All around, this chapter is the perfect combination of fun and informative, so I hope you love my chat with Michelle and feel inspired to explore unfamiliar genres in your own writing.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
