Episode #78: Technology & Truth & a Paranormal Thriller with Ashley Fontainne & Andrea Emmes

Books and Brews: the place where beer and literature meet!
Ashley Fontainne is an author and co-author of more than 30 novels, known for her intricate plots and writing in genres from dark comedy to mystery/thrillers to suspenseful paranormal.

Andrea Emmes, a singer, performer and one-time magician's assistant who has narrated many of Ashley's books, steps into writing for the first time with their co-authored paranormal and psychological thriller, ETERNAL BEAUTY.

We talked about masks (psychological, not covid), childhood trauma, plastic surgery…and Aquanet wiggling into tight pants in the 80! (And more!)

• If you enjoy our interviews or have benefitted from them, we invite you to help us continue our work. It takes a great deal of time and money to produce Books and Brews. We've been doing interviews since January 2017 as a free service to authors. We continue to promote those authors on our social media for years after their interviews. Subscribing, following, liking, commenting and sharing all help us to keep doing what we do.
• A $5 tip helps us pay for our many expenses: Libsyn hosting, web hosting, Google meets, providing the drinks for the interview and the many hours of preparation and editing that go into each episode.
