Episode 60: An Interview with JR Pearse Nelson

In this episode of Cliffhangers & Cocktails, Shéa and Amy interview J. R. Pearse Nelson about her latest paranormal women’s fiction book “The Way of Wands and Wilds,” the first in her Thornvale Witches Trilogy. We also talk about the dangers of comparing yourself to someone’s social-media-curated life, doing what we want (in life and with cocktails), and of course, general shenanigans.

There’s also an affirmation and our usual divination draw!

J. R. Pearse Nelson

J.R. Pearse Nelson is a fantasy and romance author of more than 25 novels. She lives in Oregon, USA with her husband, two teens, and two dogs. She’s happiest among the plentiful trees and clouds of the Pacific Northwest. J.R. weaves tales rooted in mythology, bringing legend to life in mostly modern-day settings.

When not writing, you can find her making magic in the kitchen and enjoying long walks, preferably in nature. J.R.’s books include the Moon Garden Mysteries paranormal cozy series, the Thornvale Witches paranormal romance trilogy, and the Aeon Society fantasy romance series.
