    74: Tylor Paige on Camera Stays On: Found Footage and Horror Romance

    USA Today best-selling author Tylor Paige is back to discuss her horror romance novel Camera Stays On, releasing October 6! Tylor and I discuss common themes throughout her books, but we also talk about how she's been experimenting creatively. She explains how Camera Stays On differs from Good For Her despite both being set on movie sets. Camera Stays On is heavier horror with no comedy. Tylor shares her personal experience with anxiety-related stuttering that informed Andy’s stutter, her transition from working in a factory to traditional publishing, lessons about trusting readers, and her upcoming 1980s trilogy pitched as “John Hughes meets Satanic Panic.” Connect with Love Letters and Books TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lovelettersandbooks Threads: https://www.threads.com/@lovelettersandbooks Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovelettersandbooks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovelettersandbookspodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LoveLettersandBooksPodcast Write me a love letter: lovelettersandbookspodcast@gmail.com Connect with Tylor Paige TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tylorpaige Threads: https://www.threads.com/@tylorpaige_author Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tylorpaige_author/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/376190999768893/ Website: https://www.tylorpaige.com/

    72: Kate Cole, Her New Book High Voltage, Women in the Trades Romance, and Redefining HEAs

    Romance author Kate Cole joins the Love Letters and Books podcast to discuss her unapologetically feminist Women in Trades romance series, which centers women in male-dominated professions and gently challenges stereotypes about tradespeople, gender roles, and sexuality. We talk about Kate’s lyrical, music-infused novel High Voltage—featuring electrician Greta and professor Ellis—as an opposites-attract romance with letter writing, a mid-to-late-30s crossroads, and a focus on intimacy, communication, and the orgasm gap. Cole shares real workplace experiences of being the only woman on a crew, as well as themes such as reproductive autonomy and broader misconceptions about blue-collar work, money, and intellect. She also reflects on starting to publish at 48, making space for creativity, and offering HEAs that don’t require marriage or babies. Cole reads a love letter about purpose, resilience, and living by kindness. Her new book High Voltage releases on September 26th!

    71: Transactional Dark Romance: Author CJ North and Her New Book What’s Beneath

    Author CJ North returns to Love Letters and Books to discuss What’s Beneath, a post-apocalyptic transactional dark romance set years after a world-ending pandemic. CJ introduces Nyx and her sister Skye, who survive in a remote cabin while managing Skye’s hypothyroidism with scarce, improvised medicine, forcing Nyx into increasingly compromising choices to keep them alive. Inspired by The Walking Dead and a desire to portray chronic illness in a post-medicine world, CJ explores vulnerability, survival, and what happens when people hide their pain “beneath the surface.” The conversation dives into Nyx’s secrecy, the morally gray dynamic with masked MMC Rattle, and the book’s spiritual, mythic elements tied to obsession, ritual, and identity. They also discuss the cultish settlement Bright Meadow’s takeover, shifting power dynamics, women’s agency, and the consequences men fail to anticipate. What’s Beneath releases September 24 on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.

    70: Blue Jean Summer with Maggie Gates: Marriage of Convenience, Found Family, and Learning to Receive

    Author Maggie Gates joins Love Letters and Books to discuss Blue Jean Summer, a cowboy marriage-of-convenience romance set on the Wilder Estate in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Hayes Wilder must marry to inherit his grandfather’s land and protect it from his half-brother, so he strikes a deal with childhood friend Katherine, the current Miss Virginia. Follow their journey of falling in love one summer as they navigate grief, abandonment, and the masks they wear to get through the world. Gates highlights themes of being held (physically and emotionally), partnership, trust, and learning to accept care—as shown in Hayes’s protective “my wife” moments and Katherine’s struggle to believe she deserves care. The episode teases the next Wilder Estate book, Steel-Toed Slow Dance, and shares release dates and upcoming events for Blue Jean Summer and Smoke Ring.

    68: She’s the Stalker Romance Books with Tawnya Torres: Writing Women Who Break the Rules

    Romance author Tawnya Torres returns to the Love Letters and Books podcast to discuss all of our favorite books where SHE is the stalker! Tawnya’s book, A Taste of Candy, was my introduction to this sub-genre. Her book flipped the Haunting Adeline-style dynamic, making the woman the stalker. We discuss how FMC stalkers challenge restrictive gender roles and relationship dynamics. I share my “She’s the Stalker” reading list, including Cracked Ice by K.D. Cureton, The Wrong Catch by C.R. Jane, The Blood We Crave by Monty Jay, and Empire of Hate by Rina Kent. Tawnya also talks about leaving a toxic job that crushed her creativity, regaining her writing spark, and teasing her upcoming Halloween release, The Patience of Alligator Teeth, a New Orleans-set literary horror/Gothic romance about a kidnapped cook caring for a criminal family’s ill daughter in the bayou.
