DIY MFA Radio

Hey there word nerds!

And welcome to our extra special Halloween episode, as today I have the pleasure of having the amazing mother-daughter writing team of P.C. and Kristin Cast on the show!

P.C. and Kristin are both New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors, most known for their wildly successful House of Night series. This mega popular series spanning numerous novels and novellas, celebrated its ten year anniversary in 2017.

In honor of this milestone, P.C. and Kristin dove back into this awesome world and created the all new House of Night: Other World series. The first novel, Loved, was released in 2017, with the second, Lost, just releasing in July of this year.

So listen in as we chat about these awesome Other World novels, and get a window into the whole House of Night series.

In this episode P.C., Kristin and I discuss:

• Tag team brainstorming.
• Worldbuilding techniques to expand your story’s world over multiple books.
• P.C.’s alternative universe character building exercise.
• How to stand out in an oversaturated market.
• Why you need to get graphic with your characters’ feelings.

Plus, both P.C.’s and Kristin’s #1 tip for writers.
