We're digging into worldbuilding, morality chain, why these books lend themselves to massive series, and ultimately…why we love these big toothy jerks.

Fated Mates is great. But what about Settling Soulmates?

Forever grateful to Grady Hendrix for bringing this important fact to light.

Fated Mates (the duo) explains Fated Mates (the trope) on Fated Mates (the podcast). How have we never done an episode about this?

The Immortals After Dark audiobooks are read by Robert Petkoff and they're pretty great. Individual titles appear to be discounted at random this month. You can get three of them at the moment. Keep an eye on fatedmates.net/audiobooks to see if any others pop up.

A quick thread on 8 @runforsomething.net candidates running in places Trump won by roughly 10 to 25 points -- seats where a good candidate can capitalize on a wave election...

We're primarily a podcast, so you're going to have to listen if you want to know why we're talking about these books, but if you just want good books to read, we're here for you.
