  • Episode 215: Sunday Tea with V and Maryka Biaggio
    Jun 28 2026

    On this Sunday episode, V chats with Maryka Biaggio about her novels that highlight forgotten lives from history back into the light.

    latest release

    "Margery and Me"

    In the 1920s, Margery Crandon captivated both Boston society and psychic researchers with her astonishing seances. At her gatherings, her deceased brother Walter regularly appeared, entertaining the circle with his witty and cheeky remarks. Margery's abilities earned her the admiration of luminaries, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and William Butler Yeats. But one man stood in opposition: Harry Houdini, the legendary magician, who was determined to expose her as a fraud.

    Margery and Me tells the true story of the medium who mystified scientists, challenged skeptics, and sparked a sensation across America and Europe. As Houdini and Margery clashed in a battle of wits and wills, the question remained: Could the master illusionist unmask her, or would her extraordinary powers be enough to convert even the most resolute of doubters?

    Jun 14 2026

    On this Sunday episode, V chats with Sandy Esene about her book series "The Keepers of the Holy and Noble Maat (KHNM)"

    The latest book

    "The Mummy Cache (KHNM Book 3)"

    Alex Philothea thought life would be less complicated now that she was no longer the interim director of KHNM. She was wrong.

    The Keepers of the Holy and Noble Maat (KHNM) shield the mortal realm from the lethal chaos of the ancient Egyptian Gods. Under a crushing eviction deadline of midnight, the agency is being driven from its headquarters by ongoing litigation with the Gods. The agents of KHNM race against the clock to pack unstable supernatural artifacts they have guarded for centuries. With nowhere to go and only a menu of bad options to choose from, the agency shelves Alex’s plan to return a primordial book of magic to her ancestors in the lost oasis. If this due date isn’t met, the ancient water lore within will be lost forever—a deadly late fee humanity can’t afford to pay. As chaos swirls around her, an artifact stolen by a formidable immortal adversary sets Alex on a perilous quest.

    All the while whispers from the Gods calling for Alex’s death grow louder.

  • Episode 213: Sunday Tea with V and Skye Alexander
    Jun 7 2026

    On this Sunday episode, V chats with Skye Alexander about her book "When the Blues Come Calling: A Lizzie Crane Mystery"

    June 1926, New York City

    Records are the wave of the future, and jazz singer Lizzie Crane intends to use this new medium to gain fame and fortune in the music world. When Jim Jenkins, owner of Jupiter Records and a close family friend of Lizzie’s saxophonist, invites her and her bandmates to make a record with his company, it seems like a dream come true. But before they can sign a contract, Jenkins dies from an overdose of mercury bichloride, a drug used to treat syphilis.

    As Lizzie begins looking into the record producer’s surprising death, she suspects it may not have been an accident. Jenkins cheated some of the artists who recorded with him and made enemies with other people in the music business, including the head of New York’s top radio station KDAZ. Furthermore, rumors suggest Jenkins had a secret paramour, and his jealous wife might have poisoned him.

    When Lizzie starts getting threatening letters, and someone breaks into her apartment, her quest for the truth becomes increasingly personal––and dangerous. The deeper she delves into the mystery, the more she realizes she can’t trust anyone, not even her friends.
