Episode 94: Ornamental Women - Discussing Jack Guignol's Debut Novel
Episode 94
Sunday, 14 June, 2026

We're celebrating the release of cohost Jack Guignol's debut novel Ornamental Women with a conversation that touches on inspiration, process, and motivation. Settle in for a wide-ranging chat about the novel, a dark gothic fantasy about the intersecting lives of three strange–and sometimes magical–women who want to solve the mystery of a disappearing corpse. How do you square conflicting feedback from test readers? What are some of the challenges that come with translating subculture influences into a fantasy milieu? Do "bad" characters deserve love? All these questions and more will be answered in this episode.
