Author C.E. Hoffman joins us to discuss their newest short story collection, Losers and Freaks. While we talk about the book a good bit, we also touch upon many interesting topics such as writing urban fantasy, getting pigeon-holed as a genre writer, delving into experimental fiction, the importance of being authentic, how literature gives hope, what kinds of things inspire artists, and why the arts are so important to mental health.
