romance author

We’ve been especially excited for this interview ever since we read The Business of Blood - and there was no shortage of things to talk about! We discuss the undeniable draw of a Scottish brogue, kinky vampires, her inspirations for her different love interests, and how she writes building sexual tension in her romance. The discussion of censorship, trigger warnings, and representation continues in our author interviews, with more interesting views and opinions - and Kerrigan shares the benefits of a dramatic writing atmosphere to bolster creativity. The debate between love interests for Fiona Mahoney rages on and we still think there’s nothing wrong with a little criminal ménage.

We talk Christmas traditions, the wonders of hermiting (no matter what the therapists say), the merit of fanfiction and our supreme appreciation for fanfiction.net, and the defense of quirky characters. We also had a great talk about the misrepresentation and experience of autism as authors and readers - the very slow progress of traditional publishing when it comes to diversity and the difficulty of fan interaction/engagement. We loved Penny Reid to death - this one is a must listen!

In this bonus episode, the gals are incredibly excited to get to meet and interview Romance Author Shain Rose.  Shain Rose is a New Adult/Adult Romance author that in just over a year has published 5 novels including the Stonewood Trilogy and the New Reign Duet. Shain is an author of romance with an edge that cuts deep. She fights for love one word at a time.  When she isn't writing, she's spending the days with her husband, daughter, son, pitty, and kitty cat. On the off chance she’s not writing or spending time with family and friends, she’s calling them to talk. And if no one answers, then she's reading and watching trashy TV.

The gals get to discuss all things romance books including college romances, Shain's most recent series the New Reign Duet, some insight into her next novel and so much more.

You can check out Shain's website here, and you can grab all of her books from Amazon here.

What an honor it was to talk to Beverly Jenkins about her love of books, career, and sex in books (and real-life!)

Beverly talked about how her love of reading stemmed from her mom and how proud her mom was when she started writing and publishing romance. 

We dipped into how she writes her characters (more getting out of their way since they know the story), what a relationship with an editor should be, what character she connects to the most, and more. 

Plus she gives some wonderful relationship advice for keeping her long-term marriage going.   

Full transcript on the website here.

What a conversation with Nalini Singh! We have been so fortunate by the authors who have said yes to our new podcast and this was one of our craziest ones yet!

In season 1 of the podcast, we somehow managed to review two books of Nalini's that weren't in her two most popular series! Rock Hard and Cherish Hard were both excellent contemporary romances (even though that is definitely not our main genre). We were so excited to talk to Nalini because Shani is a massive Psy Changelings & Guild Hunter Fan and Bridget crushed through the whole Guild Hunter series is like 2 weeks! 

Enjoy our tour through Nalini's writing, publishing life, inspirations, travel destinations, favorite characters, and more. 

YES, WE DID ASK ABOUT AODHAN AND ILLIUM ;)

Excellent writing duo talks steamy mm romance, writing what you love, finding your niche, and crushing in on Amazon Unlimited. 

This interview with Lucy Lennox and May Archer was awesome! We happened to catch them on a writing retreat (all attendees got Covid tests & quarantined before) so we got the in-person fun and energy! They were completely forthright about how much money they are making as indie authors on Amazon Unlimited, as well as how their partnership came to be!

And of course, we talked Licking Thicket!
