Author Interview with Joy E. Rancatore & The Crux Celebration

It’s been six months since the publication of The Crux Anthology! We’ve spent the month of May celebrating, but the good news is that May isn’t quite over yet and you can still get a free copy of the e-book: https://bookhip.com/DQXCRJ

There’s so much to say about this book, why it was made, who participated, what to expect, and a little about what it’s like to be an author, so Joy E. Rancatore from Logos & Mythos Press took some time out of her day to interview me. We had a great chat, and here is the video so you can check it out too:
