Hey, friends! The Picky Bookworm is joined this week by Michael August, an author from Chicago who has written a couple different books that I'm excited to share with you! Book one, Smorg War of '84, is about two feuding restaurant owners, with a little bit of bloodshed thrown in for good measure. Book two is a short story collection, inspired by the horror of the 80s, such as Tales from the Crypt and Creepshow.

Jae is one of my "book besties" and one of the most encouraging people I know. So, of course, I had to have her back on The Picky Bookworm! It's been a while since she's been on to chat, and I didn't really have a plan for the conversation, but I think you'll enjoy it nonetheless! We talked about Jae's debut book, Undergrounder, her desire for rabid fans who will create cosplay from her characters, and she offered some encouraging words for her fellow authors. We definitely had some laughs, so join us as we enjoyed ourselves!Jae's book on Amazon: Undergrounder: (Underground Trilogy Book 1) - Kindle edition by Glass, J.E..
