Episode #104: Intuitive writing, being your own fan, and feminine rage with Sheila Masterson

Welcome to another LEGENDARY episode of Storybeast! Our Legendaries are special guests who are an expert within their area of storytelling. In this episode, Ghabiba Weston and Courtney Shack have the pleasure of interviewing legendary Sheila Masterson.

Sheila Masterson is the author of six books, including the gothic fairytale romance SONG OF THE DARK WOOD, the emotional epic romantasy, THE LOST GOD Series, as well as its standalone spinoff, A LEGACY OF STARS. Her forthcoming dark fantasy romance, THE POISON DAUGHTER, publishes October 3, 2025, and features a vigilante who uses her poison kiss to murder abusive men in her community until she's unwittingly thrust into an arranged marriage with the only man immune to her magic. When Sheila's not busy stabbing beloved side characters and dreaming up new ways to make her readers cry, you can find her practicing yoga, drinking fancy cocktails with friends, or curled up reading books or tarot. She lives outside Philadelphia with a small army of underwatered houseplants that survive out of spite.


In this episode, you'll hear about:

  • Sheila's library
  • juggling all the writer hats
  • THE LOST GOD series
  • intuitive writing and trusting your instincts
  • Sheila's advice on timing and marathon writing and editing
  • the power of being a fan of your own work
  • tips on contract reviewing
  • the audiobook process
  • THE POISON DAUGHTER
  • the exploration of feminine rage
