    Get Lit with Carley Fortune, author of "One Golden Summer"

    WE'RE BACK, BABY!! 🎉 Hey friends — it's been a minute, but your girl is finally back behind the mic, and I could not be more excited for what's coming your way. I have a lineup of author interviews that are truly next-level, and we’re kicking things off with a total dream guest — my absolute fave romance author of all time: CARLEY FORTUNE 💖 Yep, the Carley Fortune — the brilliant mind behind the swoony, soul-crushing, unforgettable “Every Summer After” — is back on the pod (!!) for the first time since she joined us 3 whole years ago to talk about her debut.  Having her back to celebrate her brand new novel, “One Golden Summer”, feels like the most special full-circle moment. And y’all… this book is everything. Not only does it take us back to the world of Barry’s Bay (!!!), but it delivers all the heart, nostalgia, and summertime magic we didn’t even know we needed. We dive into it all — the characters (TEAM CHARLIE, ALWAYS), the emotional core of the story, the setting that somehow feels like home, and what it was like revisiting this beloved world. PLUS — if you’ve been keeping up with Carley on socials, you already know that both “Every Summer After” and “Meet Me At The Lake” are being adapted for the screen. You know I had to ask for all the juicy updates! I’m SO excited for you to hear this episode — it’s the perfect way to dive back in after a little podcast pause. Buckle up, friends… there’s so much goodness coming your way. Let’s gooo!  ✨ “One Golden Summer” is out now — go grab your copy and get ready to fall in love all over again. ✨ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ About Get Lit With Lianna: The Podcast Join Instagram book content creator @getlitwithlianna as she sits down with a different guest author to chat about their books, writing career, and everything in between!

  2. Get Lit with Eirene Tran Donohue, screenwriter of Lifetime's "Christmas In The Spotlight" movie

    Get Lit with Eirene Tran Donohue, screenwriter of Lifetime's "Christmas In The Spotlight" movie

    Today I'm joined by screenwriter Eirene Tran Donohue, screenwriter of Lifetime's latest Christmas RomCom "Christmas In The Spotlight", which is inspired by the globally obsessed relationship between pop phenom Taylor Swift, and NFL star Travis Kelce.  The movie, which premieres on November 23 on Lifetime, is inspired by the celebrity couple - though has not direct connection to the pair. Seen as a piece of fan fiction, Eirene sits down with me to chat about her writing background, the importance of showcasing diverse stories and actors on screen, her love for Taylor Swift, and how this swoon worthy film came to be!  I loved getting to dive deep into this film with the mind that created this story, speaking about all of the fun Taylor Swift easter eggs embedded into the script, and of course the themes that will resonate with so many romance readers/watchers. Even if you aren't a fan of Swift, this movie is a holiday classic that anyone will enjoy!! ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ About Get Lit With Lianna: The Podcast Join Instagram book content creator @getlitwithlianna as she sits down with a different guest author to chat about their books, writing career, and everything in between!

  3. Get Lit with Georgia Hunter, author of "We Were The Lucky Ones"

    Get Lit with Georgia Hunter, author of "We Were The Lucky Ones"

    Today I'm joined by NYT Bestselling author, Georgia Hunter, to chat about her novel and its subsequent Hulu and Disney+ TV adaptation, "We Were The Lucky Ones".  I binge watched all of "We Were The Lucky Ones" in one sitting. I then needed to devour the book. This television series and novel could be my favourite piece of media consumed this year. I immediately knew I had to sit down with the book's author, as well as TV series' writer and executive producer, Georgia Hunter to learn more about the genesis of this story, and adapting the book to screen.  This is the story of one family's survival of the Holocaust, told in the most touching, real and raw way. I absolutely loved getting the chance to sit down with Georgia, who's a grandchild of one of the survivors, to learn more about the research that went into writing this book... and the devoting and work that went into adapting this novel in the most perfect 8-episode mini series. I was on the brink of crying throughout this whole episode. What an absolute privilege it is to connect with Georgia and hear from her point of view what it was like to bring her family's story to the masses, especially during such trying times for the Jewish people.     ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ About Get Lit With Lianna: The Podcast Join Instagram book content creator @getlitwithlianna as she sits down with a different guest author to chat about their books, writing career, and everything in between!
