Hello and happy Sunday!Anyone that hangs around me in real life knows I love comics, particularly that of the superhero variety, and if we were going to go way back to the beginning of my love of these stories we’d find another Kelly Thompson-penned series, that being her run on Hawkeye. All this being said, it’s a dream come true to have Kelly on the show and to be diving into one of my favorite superheroes all at the same time.

If you’ve been keeping up at all with On The Shelf, the name Katie Siegel may ring a bell, or at least it should. It’s almost a yearly routine at this point, whether or not Katie has a new book coming around the corner, to sit down, catch up and talk some mystery business. In preparation for Out of the Loop, Katie joined me once more for a conversation that is, in short, thought-provoking, sapphic, and fun.Follow KatieFollow OTSOTS SubstackMap of Indie Bookstores Get Out Of The Loop!!!WORD

Lyndsay Ely was the second author ever to be featured on On The Shelf all the way back in 2021 during our second year of programming. A lot was different back then, for starters I wasn’t the sole voice or producer behind the show, there was a group of us working with our local indie bookstore. But I was the one to bring her to the show. We’d met at that same bookstore years before that when Ely’s debut novel Gunslinger Girl came out in 2018 . Ely was the first author I had ever met in the flesh and

Last year, I got to interview Alex Segura about the 2024 companion novel to 2022’s Secret Identity, Alter Ego.
