We’re so delighted to be joined this week by Erin Jones, author of the fabulous YA novel Tinfoil Crowns, and now author of a couple adaptations of very bad ideas, alongside Gabriel, Sarah, and Zach!

The first idea comes to us courtesy of Gabriel, in which a man is mistaken for someone else with his name… a someone else who’s been court-ordered to move out of his parents’ home.

The second is something we did not asked for but Sarah delivered: what happens when a waste management train breaks down outside of a small Alabama town… and just sits there. For months.   

Finally, we talk to Erin about the process of writing a novel, the terror of staring down a blank page, and the power of deadlines.

Plus, Macaroni Grumpy Cats, Twitch-streaming tea parties, literal sh*tstorms, and the sweet smell of death!

You can check out more of Erin’s work through her (friend’s) website, or follow her on Twitter. And, Tinfoil Crowns is available to purchase wherever fine books are sold.
