Summary

I’ve been on a kick of reading authors who are new to me, falling headfirst into their books, and then immediately tracking them down on social media so I can have them on the podcast, which sounds way creepier than I mean it to. But Sheila is a perfect example of this.

⚠️ Spoiler warning: We discuss The Poison Daughter throughout this episode.

Sheila talks about using writing to process intense emotions. While her stories are dark and driven by feminine rage, she’s sweet, bubbly, and thoughtful in person—which makes for a fascinating contrast.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • Spice, power, and empowerment in The Poison Daughter
  • The structure of enemies-to-lovers in fantasy
  • Chronic illness representation
  • Luck, timing, and the uncomfortable truth about “making it” as an author

Fast-paced, thoughtful, and full of craft talk—this one’s a must-listen.
