Episode notes

Mac started writing her letters from his book tour that he was on and she couldn't respond. They come to this realization that they should collaborate on something. And then over the course of like six weeks of work they said they had a novella. Like I think the other goal was to like not make another full books worth of work for each other.

This is a twist on a time travel story where the relationship between two enemies-turned-frenemies-turned-lovers takes center stage, leaving the actual mechanics of the time travel and all the world-building mostly unexplained. The dual authorship—each author wrote the chapters for one of the two characters—adds another interesting wrinkle.
