We are dedicating this channel to the study of the creative process.

Through interviews with a wide variety of artistic individuals, we will be observing the unique ways that creatives approach their art, what drives them to create, and advice they have to offer others. Creativity in any field can be a messy, imperfect, but thrilling process and our hope is to bring inspiration to others.

    May 4 2026
    With the whole Crimson Crow Press team gathered around the table, we dive into what’s new at the press, what’s coming next, and how we’re shaping the future of our creative ecosystem.

    We talk through the latest updates to our website, share what we’re building for authors and clients, and walk step‑by‑step through how we chose the cover for our upcoming anthology. It’s a candid, laughter‑filled conversation that opens the curtain on our process, from early story development, to editorial collaboration, to cover design, to marketing support.

    If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work with a small press that’s hands‑on, heart‑forward, and deeply invested in its creators, this episode gives you the full picture.

    Relaxed, honest, and full of personality. This Crimson Crow Press at its most authentic.

  • Season 2 Episode 6 Author Christine Frisina_ An Inheritance of Stories

    Season 2 Episode 6 Author Christine Frisina_ An Inheritance of Stories
    Apr 20 2026
    Christine Frisina writes from a place where memory, legacy, and courage intersect. Her “Lost” series began as a gift to her granddaughters as a way to show them that the impossible is often just the beginning. But the deeper she wrote, the more she realized these stories weren’t only for them. They were for anyone standing at the edge of their own unknown.

    Encouraged by industry legends and guided by trusted friends, Christine stepped fully into authorship with Lost in Japan, a story born from lived experience and the quiet determination that shapes a family across generations. That book opened the door to Lost in Silicon Valley, and now to her most personal work yet: Lost in Hollywood, the story of David Frisina—concertmaster, recording studio musician, and son of an Italian immigrant who arrived at Ellis Island in 1900 with nothing but a violin and a future.
    At the heart of Christine’s writing is a single question that continues to call her forward: “What does your inheritance require of you?”

    Through her books and conversations, Christine explores how the people who came before us—whether tender, distant, or difficult—shape the stories we are meant to tell. Her work is an invitation to look backward with honesty, and forward with purpose.

    This podcast follows Christine as she uncovers the threads of family, history, artistry, and identity that weave through her life and her writing. It’s about the courage to keep going, the responsibility of legacy, and the unexpected places we find ourselves when we follow the stories that refuse to let us go.
