Today we're time traveling with one of our closest friends (who happens to be an insanely talented author and creator) RJ Valldeperas. RJ has worn many hats, including wedding/boudoir photographer, small shop owner, and substitute teacher, but writing has always been where her heart is at and her biggest dream. When she is not writing, you can find her wrangling her five children, dating her hunky husband, feeding chickens and goats or escaping into a fictional world.

Join us as we laugh, cry, and geek out over nostalgic fandoms.

RJ also co-hosts an amazing podcast for writers called Not Writing Advice (and other bookish things)

Before The Prologue is a bi-weekly podcast where we go back in time before the books on our shelves started collecting dust. Whether it’s authors, artists, editors, or agents, we’re suckers for a good origin story. Join us as we discover the pages before the prologue.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

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.
