Remember when men were men and young adult fiction was for young adults? And also historical? Have we expanded the possibilities to the point of choking out skilled, professional writing?

Re!mance: Episode 163 Hart And Mercy By Megan Bannen
Taking your back to a criminally underrated book and episode:
Saddle up the Equimare or fuel up the Autoduck - in "HART AND MERCY" by MEGAN BANNEN, Marshall Hart's desperate plea for companionship transcends realms, landing in the hands of his nemesis, the super hot and sassy Undertaker Mercy. Amidst a backdrop of longing and rivalry reminiscent of "You've Got Mail" and "The Shop Around the Corner," Hart and Mercy reach out into the void for the connection they're missing, finding solace in anonymous correspondence.
Dive into this poignant fantasy romance to unravel the depths of empathy, the allure of escapism, and the tingles of a country dance. Plus there are zombies.
Don't miss out, it's a heart-tugger! -

Well, well, well. Guess who got discovered. Mmhm. And guess who continues to be overly optimistic? You got it. And guess who is kind of a classist jerk to their domestic workers? BINGO. You know what, maybe just sit this chapter out. You already know what's up.

Romantasy Fest Panel with Megan Mackie, Samara Breger, Melanie Moschella, Tamara Jerée
We had a blast talking with Megan Mackie, Samara Breger, Melanie Moschella, Tamara Jerée at the first ever Romantasy Fest at Otherworld Theatre. We dished about Romantasy history both public and personal, influences, Romantasy vs. supernatural, comparing fantasy and romance, and the unique process of authoring a romance novel.
A note on sound - we recorded the panel using one mic, so the sound isn't what you're used to with our show. It is worth the listen, though! -
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Chpt. 48 - Public Access Read-a-Long
Uhhhh, so who was going to remind us that Mr. Collins truly blows? Must run in the family…looking straight at you Mr. Bennet.
After the Bennett receive a really mean letter from their current cousin/former paramour, their dear father returns home to say he’s taking responsibility for his family. Papa then goes on to earn that letter and top spot as Bad Dad on the Whoa!mance bookshelf.
We also talk about conservative faced men.
