#8: How the Powerless Trilogy Was Created (and what's next) with Lauren Roberts

Sit down with Morgann and Lauren Roberts for a raw, hilarious, and revealing deep dive into the Powerless universe—how she wrote the viral fantasy at just 18, the unexpected path to a book deal, and why fans didn’t get that first kiss until Reckless. They spill behind-the-scenes secrets, react to spicy bookish hot takes (yes, even the hardcover debate), and tease what’s next—including Lauren’s favourite scene, adaptation dreams, and whether a novella or genre switch is on the horizon.
