    Interview with Author: Nova Adams

    I sit down with Canadian author Nova Adams to unpack how a “quick” holiday novella turned into an 80,000-word small-town slow burn that balances cozy cheer with real emotional stakes. Nova shares the origin story behind The Crush of Christmas Past—written to brighten a friend’s darkest season—and how found family, age gap dynamics, and a grumpy-sunshine pairing come together without glossing over grief or growth. We get candid about the indie author grind: juggling a full-time job, sneaking in 2 a.m. drafting sprints, and learning to market a debut without a big budget. Nova breaks down her craft choices, from acting out dialogue to keep conversation natural to using dual POV so readers can see beneath a broody exterior.  Add The Crush of Christmas Past to your holiday TBR on Amazon or Kindle Unlimited, then press play and join the conversation. If this episode made your TBR taller, follow, share with a romance-loving friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more readers find the show.

    Interview with Author: Cass Geller

    Slutty Little Glasses A ghost of Christmas past with memory magic, a cinnamon-roll bodyguard, and a door knocker with opinions—Cass Geller brings the holidays to life in a way that’s equal parts tender, funny, and haunting. I sit down with Cass to unpack Mary & Brite, her urban fantasy romance set in present-day London with a secret world of Spirits Incorporated, where grief becomes a character and love learns to speak in the quiet. Cass opens up about writing at night while working full-time and parenting, how she protects the joy of making by simplifying her launch process, and why she’s unapologetically character-driven. We get into the craft: building slow-burn tension, handling spice without cliché, keeping humor close to heartbreak, and pacing a novella so it still feels rich. She shares the unlikely spark behind the book—Dickens, Muppets, and a single title pun—and explains how Maurice the talking door knocker became the emotional glue she didn’t know she needed. If you loved the episode, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a new festive read, and leave a quick review to help others find us.

    From Bookstagram To Full-Time Author Assistant with Erin (@sinfulsheves)

    What does it really take to keep an author’s world running? We sit down with Erin—aka @SinfulShelves—to unpack the real work of an author PA: building Airtable databases packed with character details and settings, pulling market-ready quotes and hooks, managing launches, and keeping creative teams moving. Erin’s approach blends meticulous systems with real empathy, showing how collaboration beats lone-wolf myths and why the right boundaries can actually improve results. The conversation travels from Bookstagram beginnings to a full-time career, where late-night deep work powers newsletters, graphics, and content libraries. Erin explains how she blocks time, schedules client updates, and balances alpha, beta, and ARC reads with a packed calendar. She also shares the hard-won lessons behind sustainable pricing, capacity, and choosing clients who value people over pace.  We also dive into Erin’s mental health journey, including years of misdiagnosis before an ADHD combined-type evaluation changed the trajectory of her life and work. Her openness about therapy, medication, and self-advocacy offers a clear path forward for listeners navigating similar terrain. Then she brings the same candor to chronic illness: living and handling flares, and adjusting workloads without losing momentum.  If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves behind-the-scenes craft, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us.

    Interview with Author: Laura Bishop

    Love, Lies, And A “Fake” AI Boyfriend What if the flirty “AI boyfriend” on your phone wasn’t artificial at all? Debut author Laura Bishop joins us to unpack the addictive hook behind Love Me, Stalk Me—a slow-burn, body-positive romance where obsession meets accountability and intimacy waits for honesty to catch up. Laura shares the real-world spark that lit the concept. From there, she built a story that asks sharp questions about privacy, consent, and the comfort we seek in digital confessionals—then grounded it with a heroine learning to trust her voice and a security-chief hero who won’t cross the final line until truth is on the table. And because a great book deserves great buzz, we dig into Laura’s unexpectedly brilliant marketing: partnering with BikeTok creators, filming bookstore rides, and keeping content authentic to each creator’s voice. We also preview the series trajectory.  Come for the spicy tension and morally gray hero; stay for a candid, generous look at creativity, confidence, and the line between fantasy and reality.

    BookTalk: Maas Destruction in the Maas Universe

    A Beginner-To-Diehard Tour Of Sarah J. Maas: Where To Start, What To Skip, And Why Throne Of Glass Reigns p.s. this episode is filled with SPOILERS!! The Maas-verse can feel like a beautiful trapdoor—you think you’re sampling a single series and suddenly you’re free-falling through worlds, prophecies, and characters you can’t stop thinking about. We invited back the friend who first pushed us into A Court of Thorns and Roses to map the entire journey: how to start, what to savor, and when to brace for emotional whiplash. We dig into why Throne of Glass remains our gold standard for scope and payoff, and how ACOTAR’s first-person POV makes fantasy accessible for new readers. Expect passionate takes on favorites like Queen of Shadows, Kingdom of Ash, and Heir of Fire; a love letter to Manon and Dorian; and a candid look at the craft that makes “simple” prose a myth. We also get into the hot-button stuff: Tower of Dawn’s importance, whether tandem reading helps or hurts, and how official marketing around [redacted] undercut a once-in-a-decade twist for many fans. Ready to reframe your journey through Sarah J. Maas’s worlds? Press play, bring your boldest theory, and tell us your definitive reading order. If you enjoy the show, follow, share with your fellow Maas fans, and leave a quick review—it helps more readers find us and keeps the multiverse talk going.

    Danger, Desire & Dragons with Rachel Tork

    Two creatives walk into a fantasy—with dragons that talk back, gods who meddle, and a forbidden bond that refuses to break. That’s the energy Rachel Tork brings as we explore the making of To Kill A Goddess, a standalone fantasy romance that blends star-crossed devotion with the sweep of high fantasy. Rachel opens up about the long arc of worldbuilding—mythology, deities, and culture—then shows how the romance stepped forward, sharpening the pacing while keeping the prose textured and immersive. If you love yearning MMCs, trainer-trainee chemistry, a subversive shadow mommy, and that perfect “she treats his wounds” moment, you’re in the right place. If dragons, forbidden love, and emotionally honest storytelling are your sweet spot, queue this one up.

    Interview with Author: Ronnie Mathews

    Cozy coastal streets, siblings you’ll swear you’ve met, and a carpenter with a secret dirty mouth—welcome to Sutton Bay. We sit down with author Ronnie Mathews to unpack how a lifelong reader who never planned to publish built a small-town romance series that blends tenderness, banter, and genuine stakes without losing the fun. From the first spark of a debut to the final chapter of a four-book arc, Ronnie takes us inside her creative process and the choices that make these stories feel like home. We talk craft in the trenches: why she writes in chronological order, how she rewrites beginnings until the characters breathe, and the moment she knows a book is ready for ARC readers. She reflects on her Bookstagram roots, the value of an author peer group, and why she avoids reading in-genre while drafting to protect her voice. If you crave small-town romance with disability and neurodivergent representation, layered characters, and dialogue that snaps, this conversation is your next listen.  Subscribe, share with a romance-loving friend, and leave a review to tell us which Sutton Bay couple owns your heart.
