S3 • Ep. 12 • LJ Andrews

🎙️ @authorljandrews is officially LIVE! 💥

IT’S OUR SEASON FINALE 🖤✨

And ending it with the one and only LJ? That’s not just icing on the cake… that’s the whole damn bakery. 🙌🏻🔥

This interview was absolutely magnetic. From diving into her incredible series and creative process to getting a glimpse into the heart behind the books (yes, we love a little family insight 🥹), she gave us EVERYTHING.

To our listeners....thank you. Truly. We feel it all and we’re so grateful for this...

S3 • Ep. 11 • Cleo White

🎙️ @authorcleowhite is officially LIVE! 💥

We cannot thank Cleo enough for joining The Dark Collective Podcast 🖤 From her absolutely unhinged talent, to her lifelong journey as an author, to casually hula-hooping at raves like the chaotic queen she is…we are officially obsessed.

She stole our hearts, wrecked our sanity (in the best way), and reminded us exactly why we love this community so damn much.

Make sure you swing by her table at Shadows & Seduction and experience her work for yourself…just...

S3 • Ep. 10 • Eric Nolan

🎙️ @ericanthonynolan is officially LIVE! 💥

Not only is this the longest episode we’ve ever recorded, it might also hold the record for the most laughing, blushing, and repeatedly begging a grown man to cover the camera and do random accents 😮‍💨😂

From his time as an actor on Game of Thrones, The Witcher, to films like How to Train Your Dragon(and so much more), Eric held nothing back. He gave us a full, unfiltered look into his life....equal parts talent, chaos, and beautifully unhinged mome...

S3 • Ep. 8 • B.B. Easton

🎙️ @author.bb.easton is officially LIVE! 💥

Oh B.B. 😭💕 you officially have our hearts (and possibly our souls).

This interview was chef’s kiss ✨ From a psychic saying “bestie… you’re a writer” 🔮➡️ to her words jumping off the page and straight onto the Netflix screen 📚➡️📺 Seriously… WHAT doesn’t this woman do?!

We dive into past projects, current chaos, and all the wildly exciting things coming next 👀🔥 Plus, an exclusive little peek into her career, family, and everyday life because we love a multi-layered queen.

🎙️ @carinhartbooks is officially LIVE! 💥

We are in love with you, Carin Hart. 🤍 We cannot thank you enough for being a supporter of ours since day one. You were an absolute joy to interview. ✨

Unhinged chaos should’ve been the name of this episode 😂😂 She had us in stitches the entire time, just making us laugh...but not only that, she was able to give us true insight into her experience, history, and her dire love for being an author in this industry. 📚🔥

We cannot wait to have her at Shadows & Seduction...

🎙️ @jobrennerbooks is officially LIVE! 💥

Not only did we dive into her upcoming projects (including the book she dropped just DAYS ago 😱), but we also got a front-row seat into how her characters are born, the passion that fuels her writing, and even the exact music she vibes to while creating her magic.

We’re beyond ecstatic to have her at Shadows & Seduction, and when we say run, don’t walk to her table… we mean it. The amount of special editions this woman is bringing? Absolutely unhinged...in the BEST way. 🫣👀

We hope you...
