At the risk of dating myself…here’s a little secret. My first-ever work of fiction was X-Files fanfic. There used to be a big Mulder-Scully shipper community, and I think maybe I got my obsession with the enemies-to-lovers trope from my early-life exposure to this bantery pair of special agents.…

Some people make playlists for their books. I do this thing where I have one emblematic song represents a book for me, or more specifically the couple in the book. I don’t usually go searching for “the song for book X.” Strangely, they seem to sort of mysteriously reveal themselves…

Hi! I’m Jenny Holiday. My grandma’s pumpkin chiffon pie makes an appearance at pretty much every Holiday family holiday (ha! get it?). Unlike straight up pumpkin with its dense, in-your-face presence, this is a light, airy, custardy delight straight out of the 1960s. People, it’s like eating a pumpkin cloud.…
