In this week’s episode, Tiff sat down with A.L. Sterling — award-winning scientist turned author — to talk all about her dark academia debut, Foresyth Conservatory. We dive into her unique journey from science to storytelling, the gothic mystery behind her book, and how tarot and interactive elements pull readers deeper into Dahlia’s world.
A.L. shares how her grandmother’s fortune-telling inspired her magic-infused writing, why whimsy is her “agenda,” and what it really means to blend logic with imagination. She also offers down-to-earth advice for aspiring authors and teases her next project (A medieval fantasy rooted in Slavic folklore) yay!!!
If you love gothic mysteries, dark academia, and stories that blur the line between science and magic, this one’s for you.
