This week, Marshall, Brent and LP celebrate the last week of Black History Month 2023 with the author of the novella EMPIRE OF THE FEAST. Bendi Barrett is a writer of speculative fiction, erotica, and games whose novella mashes together sex magic, court intrigue, murder mystery, amnesiac protagonist, an insurrection in less than 40,000 words. We have a lot of fun in this episode, lots of laughter. Spoilers abound so please read first.

Content Warning: There are some explicit conversations about the sex in the book.
