In this episode of Miles Beyond the Page, I’m joined by the wildly talented and unapologetically bold AK Nevermore, author of Overlord and countless other explosive reads. We dive into her spicy dystopian sci-fi, chat about shifters on motorcycles, and yes—blowing things up in the most entertaining ways possible.

ABOUT AK NEVERMORE:

AK Nevermore is an award-winning author known for her dark, irreverent, and addictively entertaining stories that blend dystopian sci-fi, urban fantasy, and paranormal romance. Whether she's writing about alpha shifters, gritty rebels, or post-apocalyptic worlds, her books deliver steam, sass, and lots of action.

She’s been traditionally, digitally, and indie published, and when she’s not wrangling characters or operating heavy machinery, she’s likely freebasing coffee or giving up sarcasm for Lent (bless her).

Her work has been featured in Blush Magazine, on NPR, and even made it into the BookBub blog roundup. She's also a creative writing teacher, a prolific industry volunteer, and somehow manages to write full time around a literal nest of ravens.

• In this interview, we discuss:
• The badassery behind Overlord
• The appeal of shifters + motorcycles + explosions
• How AK builds dark, gritty, and unputdownable worlds
• Her approach to spicy romance and antiheroes
• Advice for writers who want to blend genre fiction with attitude

ABOUT ALLIE:
