Bertha steps into the spotlight in Gwendolyn Kiste's newest novel, Reluctant Immortals. This groovy and gothic tale places Bertha Mason and Lucy Westenra of Bram Stoker's Dracula in Los Angeles, 1967. After years of running, the horrors of their past finally catch up with them, forcing Bertha and Lucy to face the wicked men who made them what they are. We were delighted to speak with Gwendolyn about her book and to learn more about her process when adapting these classic characters to a more modern setting!
Reluctant Immortals is available August 23, 2022. Find it on Amazon and check out Gwendolyn's website for more about her others novels and short fiction. In which Piper and Lillian discuss dreams, proposals, love, lies and heartbreak. Buckle up, listeners, we've reached the heart of the story.
Whether we're discussing love triangles, complicated family connections or the historical accuracy of Jello(tm) molds, there's much to unpack in this beloved Jane Austin Classic.
All the pent up emotions of Jane Eyre take flight in this Broadway banger of an adaptation. Heart strings are plucked and tempers rise as Lillian and Piper discuss the swoon-worthy serenades and misogynistic missteps of the first (and best) musical version of this classic story.
