We spoke with Annie Geever today about her path into post-apocalyptic fiction and how writing gradually shifted from a personal outlet into a serious creative pursuit. We talked with her about her fascination with exploring what happens after catastrophes rather than focusing on the disaster itself, and how those aftermath settings allow her to dig into human behavior under pressure. Our conversation centered on character-driven storytelling, moral complexity, and the idea that power dynamics are often rooted in some form of love, whether for a person, an idea, or survival itself. We also talked about independent publishing and what it takes to keep creating a lasting label. Overall, it was a thoughtful discussion about resilience, motivation, and the emotional layers that shape compelling fiction.

Examining how policy decisions translate into human harm while institutional silence shields those with power. Tracing a pattern from immigrants and protesters being unalived, to future losses driven by housing, healthcare, and insurance rollbacks, and connecting that harm to the continued containment of the Epstein case. Exploring how delayed disclosures, legal silence, uninvestigated sites, and fragmented media coverage reflect a governing instinct to manage corruption rather than confront it, even as the human cost continues to rise.

Exploring how recent statements from the head of this administration about federalizing elections intersect with fears of losing congressional control, potential impeachment, and stalled policy agendas. The discussion places those remarks in their political context and examines what Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution actually says about who controls federal elections, why that balance was deliberately written into the Constitution, and why debates over election authority tend to surface most aggressively when political power feels at risk.
