    Oct 23 2025

    C.S. Lewis basically said: “what if I mixed literally every mythology and Santa Claus into the same world?”

    This week’s episode celebrates the 75th anniversary of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. We’re exploring the first two of five “impossible reasons” this classic story works, and what authors can learn from it:

    Next week, we’ll explore the final three impossible reasons The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe works—don’t miss it.

  • The Weird Science of Cozy Reads - Less Cute Cafes & More Battle Mages

    The Weird Science of Cozy Reads - Less Cute Cafes & More Battle Mages
    Oct 9 2025

    Sometimes “cozy” sneaks up on you. A book about war mages? Comforting. A gentle fantasy romance? Overstimulating. Go figure.

    In this episode, I’m unpacking my latest reading round-up and diving into how we find comfort in stories that weren’t built to be cozy—and what that says about our brains, habits, and creative needs.

    Plus, I’m talking books. Because books are fun.

    👉 Inside this episode:

    * What makes a book feel cozy even when it isn’t labeled that way

    * How personal context changes what seems relaxing

    * Why “comfort reads” can look different for every reader

    This episode of Author Culture is cozy meets chaos, with plenty of book chat in between.Want more fun author help? Check out my website: https://jiauthor.com/
