See more of Alexa’s work on Instagram, which is how I stumbled across them!

Season 7 is off to a robust start with Pakistani-American romance author Aamna Qureshi, who has published numerous books despite her young age. I deeply enjoyed speaking to Aamna after her international travels and my own multi-state road trip last weekend!
Aamna’s latest book, IF I LOVED YOU LESS, a romantic comedy retelling of Jane Austen’s EMMA, will be out on July 18 in the U.S. and is available for purchase here! Aamna also shared the title of her next book (for the first time) during our conversation!

I had such a restorative conversation with one of my favorite poets, Diannely Antigua, following the release of her sophomore collection, GOOD MONSTER!
I met Diannely Antigua at Open Mouth’s third annual poetry festival, for which she was a featured reader, and it was one of the most moving readings I’ve ever experienced. I talked about it and UGLY MUSIC, Diannely’s debut collection, last year during National Poetry Month.
Needless to say, I was eagerly anticipating GOOD MONSTER’s release— and it did not disappoint!
GOOD MONSTER is available for purchase here!

I had a great time talking to composer and musician Amos Cochran, a fellow Artists 360 alum and long-time friend. Amos claims he “has a huge thing against words,” but he gave me some great writing insights!
