Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, JP Rindfleisch IX, Kevin Tumlinson, and Patrick O’Donnell as they discuss the week’s publishing topics, including the copyright lawsuit two well-known authors are bringing against OpenAI. Then stick around as Christine chats with New York Times and USA Today bestseller Wendy Corsi Staub!

Wendy Corsi Staub is the award-winning author of more than ninety novels, best known for the single-title psychological suspense novels she writes under her own name. Those books and the women’s fiction written under the pseudonym Wendy Markham have also appeared on the USA Today, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Bookscan bestseller lists. Her latest novel, Windfall, releases tomorrow, July 11, 2023, and is available for preorder now.
