    Meet Sarah Bailey

    Your host learns all about Dark Romance from author Sarah Bailey, and asks all the questions you might have been too afraid to ask! We talk about dark romance vs taboo, Reverse Harem and LGBTQIA representation, dangerous book recommendations, and the all important research that goes into writing spice. She was such an exciting guest to have, and gives a truly unique perspective on this particular sub genre of romance.  Out of context quotes: "Do you want a cowboy? Or do you want a Biker?" "Is she pregnant? I need to know..." Sarah writes dark, contemporary, reverse harem, erotic and paranormal romances. She adores all forms of steamy romance and can always be found with a book or ten on her Kindle. She loves anti-heroes, alpha males and flawed characters with a little bit of darkness lurking within. Her writing buddies nicknamed her 'The Queen of Steam' for her pulse racing sex scenes which will leave you a little hot under the collar.  You can find her books on Amazon and be sure to preorder Carnage (Four Horseman Book 1) which is out July 16th! www.sarahbaileywriter.com Sign up to her newsletter: www.subscribepage.com/sarahbaileywriter Facebook Twitter Instagram Goodreads

    Meet Damon Suede

    Is this real life? The illustrious Damon Suede, author of the bestselling novel Hot Head, is our very special guest this week! Hot Head is one of Ali's favorite books and the first MM romance she ever read. We are honored to have him join us, and hope that you enjoy. Damon talks about writing in genre fiction, romance industry, comics, Manga, and why it is that so many straight woman just LOVE gay romance! Whether you are a reader or a writer you are going to love this episode as Damon gives us a man's view of genre and gay romance fiction: XY chromosomes and practical experience give Damon a different take on the romance genre and a nuts-n-bolts grasp of homoerotic intimacy. Damon Suede grew up out-n-proud deep in the anus of right-wing America, and escaped as soon as it was legal. He has lived all over and along the way, he’s earned his crust as a model, a messenger, a promoter, a programmer, a sculptor, a singer, a stripper, a bookkeeper, a bartender, a techie, a teacher, a director... but writing has ever been his bread and butter. He has been happily partnered for over a decade with the most loving, handsome, shrewd, hilarious, noble man to walk this planet. Beyond romance fiction, Damon has been writing for print, stage, and screen for almost three decades, which is both more and less glamorous than you might imagine. He's won some awards, but counts his blessings more often: his amazing friends, his demented family, his beautiful husband, his loyal fans, and his silly, stern, seductive Muse who keeps whispering in his ear, year after year. Damon would love to hear from you.... Get in touch with him at DamonSuede.com. Titles include: Lickety Split, Pent Up, Bad Idea, Hot Head, Horn Gate, Grown Men, and more.

    Meet Willow Sanders

    Join us for a special bonus episode of Reading With the Lights Off where we do a deep dive into feminism and romance novels. Willow Sanders is romance author and a scholar of literature and communication. The mythical orgasm, puritans really messed us up, Charlotte Bronte and subversive feminism, f*ck the patriarchy, changing trends in publishing,  and BDE. Dangerous Books For Girls: The Bad Reputation of Romance Novels Explained Cinderella Ate My Daughter Mad Woman in the Attic Book+Main bites romance app Shameless Book Con Willow Sanders has several books available on amazon including Beard on Tap and Thirst Trap! Follow her link tree below to find all of her titles and interact with her online! www.linktr.ee/authorwillowsanders Willow has always had a penchant for weaving tales. Whether it was horror stories for her bunkmates during sleep away camp, or full blown novels, the written word is always something that Willow has been drawn to. After years of debating whether or not her stories were good enough to be seen by anyone other than people required by blood to tell her they enjoyed them, she has finally made the leap into self-publishing. When she isn't writing (in the physical sense- as stories are always brewing in her head in some form), she can regularly be found feeding her coffee addiction at the Green Mermaid (otherwise known as Starbucks). She is also a voracious reader and is quite certain that there is a glitter encrusted picture frame bearing her headshot somewhere on the wall at Amazon that says "this woman pays our salary." You can also find her frequently stalking Goodreads, Pinning, FaceBooking, or hanging out on the Twitter.
