Co-hosting @connecttheplotspod.bsky.social is a lot of work but talking with @wiswell.bsky.social about X-Men comics, dragons, and horror books was the most fun work I have done in ages. Our new episode with John is out now. Find it wherever you get your podcasts, links at www.connecttheplots.com !

Description: Cylia and Erik are joined by John Wiswell, the award-winning author of SOMEONE TO BUILD A NEST IN, WEARING THE LION, and the upcoming THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS, for a conversation about the X-Men, love at wrong angles, and John's favorite dragons.
