Storycomic Presents: Interviews with Amazing Storytellers and Artists

What if Marilyn Monroe's ghost suddenly showed up and decided that what you really needed was an acting coach?
Award-winning Vermont author Mima Tipper joins us to talk about Channeling Marilyn, her new paranormal YA novel about shy high-school senior Lexa Donovan, an unexpected starring role, a serious case of stage fright — and some supernatural assistance from one of Hollywood's most famous stars.
We talk about writing a real cultural icon into fiction, researching Marilyn Monroe, the pressures teenagers face around confidence and body image, balancing humor with heavier emotional material, and what Marilyn's complicated legacy might still have to say to young people a century after her birth.
Mima also shares the unusual path that brought her work to publication and the remarkable year surrounding her debut novel, Kat's Greek Summer, winner of the 2025 Vermont Book Award for Children's Literature.
And we look ahead to the YA novel inspired by Greek mythology that Mima is developing next.

How do you take ideas that are thousands of years old and turn them into a picture book a four-year-old wants to hear again?
On this episode of The We Make Children's Books Podcast, author and illustrator Regina Linke joins us to talk about her newest picture book, Little Helper, the continuing adventures of young Ah-Fu, and the unusual creative path that led Regina from a career in business and technology to studying traditional Chinese painting and becoming an award-winning children's-book creator.
We talk about transforming concepts from East Asian philosophy into stories young readers can understand, writing without turning a book into a lesson, creating illustrations inspired by traditional Chinese gongbi painting, and what changes when the same creator is responsible for both the words and pictures.
Regina also discusses Big Enough, winner of the 2025 New England Book Award for Picture Book and a 2026 ALSC Notable Children's Book, the evolution of The Oxherd Boy, and what she's creating next.

In the 1870s, people traveled to rural Chittenden, Vermont to see something extraordinary: members of the Eddy family who claimed they could communicate with the dead — and even make spirits physically appear before an audience.
But how much of the story we've heard for the last 150 years is actually true?
On this episode of Vermont Artists & Authors, Barney Smith talks with Vermont historian Jason Smiley, who has spent more than a decade researching William and Horatio Eddy and the larger Eddy family.
Jason discusses how a Vermont family became famous during America's spiritualism craze, what visitors experienced during their séances, the evidence suggesting some of their supernatural demonstrations weren't what they appeared to be, and the myths that continue to be repeated today.
We also talk about Jason's planned three-volume history of the family, including The Devil's Cabinet and Spirit Vale, and his work as a story consultant on the developing feature film Woman of Another World.
It's a conversation about ghosts — but even more about history, belief, skepticism, storytelling and what happens when folklore becomes more famous than the facts.

What happens when the monsters you've spent your life reading about suddenly come crawling off the page?
Author Yuvashri Harish joins The We Make Children's Books Podcast to talk about her debut YA horror novel, Kill Your Darlings, a fast-moving Halloween nightmare that mixes classic literary monsters, a resurrected author, family responsibilities and some very real human fears.
We talk about bringing the traditions of Dracula, Frankenstein, Carmilla and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow into a contemporary YA story; why horror can be such an effective way to explore racism, misogyny and power; creating a Tamil teenage heroine who gets to own the story; and why Yuvashri chose a small New England town as the place to unleash her monsters.
Yuvashri also shares her path from a child who borrowed twelve library books a week to a debut novelist, how her work in employment law intersects with the way she thinks about people and power, and what she's planning next.
And yes — we also ask about the mysterious future project she has described as "cannibalism soulmate horror."
Kill Your Darlings is coming this fall from G.P. Putnam's Sons Books for Young Readers.

For 40 years, Redwall has captured readers with its sweeping fantasy adventure, unforgettable animal characters, heroic quests, songs, feasts, battles, villains, and deep sense of courage and community.

Sean Rubin joins the conversation to talk about what it means to contribute artwork to such a beloved fantasy world, how longtime fans think visually about Redwall Abbey and its characters, and why Brian Jacques’ stories continue to matter to young readers, families, librarians, teachers, and collectors.
If you grew up with Redwall, shared it with your kids, or are discovering it for the first time, this conversation is a celebration of one of children’s fantasy’s most enduring worlds.

n this episode of Storycomic Presents, I’m joined by Richard Dansky, author, horror writer, tabletop RPG designer, and veteran video game narrative designer.
Richard is well known to longtime tabletop fans for his work with White Wolf, especially Wraith: The Oblivion, Vampire: The Dark Ages, and other World of Darkness titles. His official site lists more than a dozen RPG projects, including Wraith: The Oblivion 2nd Edition, Wraith: The Oblivion 20th Anniversary Edition, The Shadowplayer’s Guide, Charnel Houses of Europe: The Shoah, Vampire: The Dark Ages, and Vampire: The Masquerade Revised Edition.
He later spent decades in video games, contributing to major franchises such as Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, Might & Magic, and The Division 2.
We talk about his new nonfiction book, The Video Game Writer’s Guide to Surviving an Industry That Hates You, which focuses on the practical realities of working as a game writer: building schedules, working with teams, getting useful feedback, and doing the job without burning yourself out.
We also discuss his upcoming horror novel Nightmare Logic, his graphic novel Bridgewater, his continuing love of horror, and what his early work on Wraith: The Oblivion taught him about death, memory, regret, atmosphere, and player-driven storytelling.

On this episode,  I’m joined by award-winning author Maggie Tokuda-Hall to talk about her new picture book Bathtime for Snow Monkeys, illustrated by Yas Imamura and published by Candlewick.
_ Bathtime for Snow Monkeys_ is a serene and playful picture book written entirely in haiku form. Set at the Jigokudani monkey park in Nagano, Japan, the story introduces young readers to the nihonzaru, or Japanese macaques, who gather in their own onsen — a hot spring “spa” — to keep warm, relax, snack, and huddle together in the snow.
When a playful baby monkey starts splashing, the other monkeys are not so sure they want to join in. But as the baby’s antics wind down, the story becomes a soothing invitation for parents and little ones to snuggle together like the macaques: warm, safe, and close.
Maggie and Yas previously collaborated on Love in the Library, and this new book pairs Maggie’s haiku narration with Yas Imamura’s illustrations. We talk about poetry for young readers, writing quiet books, Japanese macaques, nature, cultural specificity, and how picture books can help families slow down.

On this episode of Storycomic Presents, I’m joined again by Vermont author Dan Durick to talk about The Mechanism of Collapse, Book Two of The Tetrad Cycle.
Dan’s series began with The Dark Matter, a science-fiction, supernatural horror, and conspiracy thriller about secret research, terrifying encounters, and forces that do not want to be understood. The book asks what might happen if the darkness between the stars reached down to touch us.
Now Dan continues the story with The Mechanism of Collapse, the second book in a four-book cycle. His website lists Book Three, Reflection, as also arriving summer 2026, with a fourth concluding volume still to come.
We talk about what changes in Book Two, how to escalate a conspiracy without losing the human stakes, and why cosmic horror works best when it feels grounded in a reality we recognize. Dan’s work draws on philosophy, unexplained experiences, and the deep human need to ask what is really behind the visible world.
If you like science fiction, supernatural horror, conspiracy thrillers, dark matter, cosmic mystery, and Vermont authors building big genre worlds, this is a conversation worth checking out.

On this episode, I’m joined by debut YA author Jasmine Smith to talk about her dark contemporary fantasy Death Card, published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers and on sale August 11, 2026.
Death Card follows Mikaela Broussard, an eighteen-year-old witch in New Orleans who is expected to become the next Witch Queen of her coven. While doing a tarot reading in her family’s occult shop, Mikaela pulls the Death card and sees a vision of herself being murdered by a beautiful stranger named Joelle. Instead of staying away from Joelle, Mikaela keeps her close to learn why she would want to kill her — only to find herself falling for the very girl from her vision.
As witches begin losing their magic, Mikaela has to unravel the mystery, face the politics of her coven, and decide whether fate is something she must accept or something she can fight.
We talk about tarot, witchcraft, New Orleans atmosphere, sapphic romance, Black girls in YA fantasy, and writing a debut novel about power, fear, love, and choosing your own future.

On this episode of Storycomic Presents, I’m joined by Johnell DeWitt, Michelle Lin, Patrick Williams, and Abigale Lyn to talk about the newest developments at KidLitGN.
KidLitGN is a free annual pitch event for creators of children’s and YA graphic novels, including comics-style picture books, early/chapter books, middle grade, and young adult projects. The pitch event is hosted through the KidLitGN website and gives creators a chance to put their work in front of agents, editors, and publishers.
This year, KidLitGN is expanding through new partnerships and student involvement. Patrick Williams, from Orange County School of the Arts, joins the conversation to talk about how OCSA students are supporting KidLitGN’s media, communication, and event efforts. Abigale Lyn, one of the OCSA student interns, brings the perspective of a young creator and reader who grew up with children’s and YA graphic novels and now has the chance to help support the community behind them.
We also talk with Johnell DeWitt about the mission and growth of KidLitGN, and Michelle Lin about storytelling, graphic novel pitching, and why creators should take advantage of open-access opportunities like this.
If you write, draw, teach, publish, or love children’s graphic novels, this is a conversation worth hearing.
