    The Thin Red Line: Writers and Current Events

    The Thin Red Line: Writers and Current Events

    Shane and Eris are back! Find out if there's anything even these two spicy Romance writers don't dare to say, as they discuss the ways current events affect how authors interact with the public.


    In the social media age, where fans expect to have access to and interaction with creators, how far is too far, in terms of author self-expression?


    News happens. People have opinions. Authors are people (we swear!), but what are the consequences for making our stances on hot-button topics known? Do we alienate readers when we do this, or do people like to see a human side to the authors whose books they love?


    Bonus: Shane spills the dark, dirty secret about Pun Daddy. Scandalous!

    Madness & Mafia Romance: The Measha Stone Interview

    Madness & Mafia Romance: The Measha Stone Interview

    Measha Stone, USA Today Bestselling author of the Reluctant Brides and Mafia Brides series of dark, spicy Romances talks with Shane and Eris about book signing events and introversion, how much she hates the plotter approach to writing, and how surprisingly supportive the Romance writing community can be. Eris cackles maniacally about cliffhangers, and when candy corn underpants enter the conversation, Shane nearly has to safeword out.

    We March on a Road of Bones: Writer's Block and Motivation

    Writer's Block: Shane and Eris talk about the terror of terrors among authors. Why does it happen? What do we do about it? Come for talk about 'forcing it'; stay for a discussion of alphas and betas that's surprisingly NOT centered around omegaverse. Find out why Eris can't meditate, and why Shane has ZERO CHILL when it comes to side projects.

    The Dark Side: Dark Romance and Why We Write It

    The Dark Side: Dark Romance and Why We Write It

    “It's just how you're wired, it's as simple as that.” — Shane Starrett
    Shane and Eris discuss dark Romance and why we read and write it. What constitutes ‘dark Romance’ in relation to other Romance tropes and genres? Why the stigma around Romances with dark themes, and what effect does it have on readers and authors? What impact do book retailers have on the availability of these stories? Plus: The Great Trigger Warning Discussion. Eris will rant, but probably not about what you’d think!

Jenneryy ,

Just perfect! Exactly what the romance community needs

This is exactly what the romance community needs, and I love that both of these authors are so well-spoken and interesting and funny. Can’t wait for more episodes and I’m so glad I saw this posted!
