Book Talk: Caitlin Rozakis and Randee Dawn

Fantasy lovers, stop by to meet authors Caitlin Rozakis and Randee Dawn! They are joining us to discuss their latest book releases, Dreadful and Tune in Tomorrow, and to answer all of your burning questions!

About the authors:

- New York Times best-selling author Caitlin Rozakis writes fantasy with a satirical twist and a cozy heart. Her debut novel is Dreadful, but turned out not to be dreadful at all. Her next book, The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association, is coming from Titan Books on May 27, 2025.

She also writes romance under the name Catherine Beck; her novella “Leah’s Perfect Christmas” was adapted into the Hallmark Channel Original Movie “Leah’s Perfect Gift.”

Short stories have appeared under the name R. Rozakis in Cast of Wonders, Aurealis, Daily Science Fiction, Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, and Weirdbook, as well as the anthologies Substitution Cipher, Clockwork Chaos, Baker Street Irregulars II, and Thrilling Adventure Yarns 2022.

Caitlin Rozakis is the pen name of Rebecca Rozakis. After graduating from Princeton, she has had too many career changes, including mechanical engineering (cut short after the murderous robot incident), finance (amortizing tequila receivables is not as fun as drinking tequila), and the American Museum of Natural History (who knew emus had birth certificates?), and a number of marketing positions, some at companies you may have even heard of. She lives in Jersey City with her husband and son.

- Randee Dawn is a Brooklyn-based author and journalist focusing on speculative fiction across the categories (science-fiction, fantasy and horror) at night, while writing entertainment and lifestyle stories during the day for publications including Today.com, Gold Derby.com, Variety, The Los Angeles Times and Emmy Magazine.

Her first novel, Tune In Tomorrow, was published by Solaris/Rebellion in 2022 and re-issued with additional bonus content in 2024 via Solaris Nova. Arc Manor will publish her next two novels in 2025: The Only Song Worth Singing (April) and Leave No Trace (August), and Solaris Nova will publish her follow-up to Tune, We Interrupt This Program in the fall.

Currently, she resides with the love of her life with a lot of books and never enough mangoes. No, she don’t have a fox, but if you want to meet a fox like this or donate to their care, JAB Canid Education and Conservation Center can help.
