398. Medicine, Monsters & Cthulhu With Author Melissa Yi

Multi-genre Canadian author, emergency room physician, and past winner from Volume 16, Dr. Melissa shares her incredible journey of balancing a demanding medical career and family life while publishing over 25 novels. Melissa dives deep into her creative process behind her medical crime series starring Dr. Hope Sze. She details her latest release, Killing Me Slothily, which brilliantly weaves the medical realities of a hospital emergency room with the dark supernatural terror of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos. Listeners will get an inside look at how she utilizes real-world medical research, practical tools for overcoming low-productivity seasons, and advice from mentors like Dean Wesley Smith to keep her creative momentum going. Finally, she gives a sneak peek into her upcoming 2027 Jane Austen-inspired fantasy project, Sense and Sword Agility.
