Welcome to the Author Spotlight for Tuesday James and the brutal beauty of Southern Holy Rot! 🖤✨

​Hello Besties, Rebecca here, and I am still recovering from having her on the podcast because she is an absolute mastermind. Kirsty and I sat down with her in the virtual studio, and we got into all the spicy details of her writing process, her unbelievable character arcs, and exactly how she manages to weave dark gothic horror and religious trauma into a post-apocalyptic masterpiece. Seriously. My brain is still melting from the atmospheric dread. If you missed the episode, you need to fix that right now.

​Where to Start with Tuesday James

​This woman has built a world that is completely unputdownable, and honestly, you need this on your radar before the October 6th release date drops. Here is the breakdown so you know exactly what to add to your TBR.

​For the Dystopian and Gothic Horror Girlies: Southern Holy Rot

If you love morally gray MMCs, suffocating atmospheric dread, and heavy religious satire mixed with grit...you absolutely need this duology. What started as a casual warm up writing exercise before teaching turned into a full blown dystopian nightmare that we are completely obsessed with. The tension is so out of control, and Tuesday lives for the shock factor, so fair warning that the ending will leave you staring at the wall in absolute silence. Malik and the rest of the cast are swimming in questionable choices, which is exactly how we like our romantasy heroes.

Exploring Her Other Worlds and Projects

Because Tuesday is a total powerhouse when she is not busy teaching, her backlist is absolute gold for anyone who loves intense romantic suspense. If you want a gritty, small town survival story where a brooding hero is ready to burn the world down to keep the FMC safe, pick up These Jagged Edges from her Thunder Ridge series. Follow that up with This Violent Reckoning, which leans heavily into second chance romance, childhood friends to lovers, and delicious fake engagement tension. Exploring her other worlds gives you more of that raw, emotional damage and character-driven chaos that makes her writing so addictive.
