I loved Ghosts and What We Do in the Shadows and would love to find books in that general area. I’m a big fan of classic Hollywood and would be drawn to projects set in that world and era. I also really enjoyed Stranger Things and Rings of Power – in fact, I’m a massive fan of the LOTR books and the original movies. Love Game of Thrones too, books and TV series. My guilty pleasure is reality TV – MAFSA, Love is Blind and 90 Day Fiance. Favorite podcasts – Publishing Rodeo (plus other publishing podcasts!), Scamfluencers, Lore
