S5 EP216: Sebastian Dureaux-Russell, Award-Winning Author of Burning with a Blue Flame Takes over as Guest Host to interview Paranormal Romance Author D.S. Stephens, Author of The Haunted Hearts Series
Hello Happy People,
Today’s episode is a special April 1st podcast takeover of Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt — Book Talk Podcast... or is it?
Sebastian Dureaux-Russell steps in as guest host, and for a minute, it might feel like you’ve landed in the wrong show. But stay with it, because this “takeover” has a twist.
Sebastian is joined by his guest paranormal romance author, D.S. Stephens and the show focuses on her new Haunted Hearts series, a seven-book paranormal romance built from real ghost hunting experiences the author had in college. Starting with Book 1, Langston Watch Hotel, this series brings together real haunted locations, emotional tension, and that constant fight between science and belief.
And if something about D.S. Stephens sounds a little familiar… well, you’re not imagining that either.
This episode pulls back the curtain on how this romance author persona came to life, where the series is headed, and what’s coming next.
So is this a takeover? Or is mischief afoot?
Links to Sebastian Dureaux-Russell’s previous episode (S3 EP143) and website, along with D.S. Stephens social media, can be found above.
