    Ch 36: The Leap to Full-Time Writing + Half City with Kate Golden

    We’re continuing our one-year POD-aversary celebration on Our Next Chapter — and this week we’re joined by USA Today bestselling fantasy romance author Kate Golden. Kate stops by to talk about her new romantasy novel Half City, the first book in the Harker Academy series — a dark academia story featuring demon hunters, forbidden attraction, and a mystery that unravels at an elite supernatural academy. We also play our recurring author game, The Impossible Meet Cute, which somehow results in a rom-com that has dogs and Hawaii. You’ll understand when you hear it. If you love romantasy, fantasy romance, dark academia, conversations about the writing process, and authors getting honest about craft, you'll dig this. Thanks for celebrating year one with us!

    Ch 35: One Year In, Happy Endings, and Writing Anyway with Sophie Sullivan

    One year in, and we’re celebrating our podaversary with romance author Sophie Sullivan. In this chapter, we talk about her long road to publication, redefining success, and trusting the timing of the story you’re in. We dig into anxiety, joy, and what it means to keep writing anyway, even when the goalposts move. Plus, we play Check In / Check Out, wrap with our final five questions, and reflect a bit on what one year of conversations has taught us so far. Matt & Andrea here.

    Ch 34: Big Feelings at 35,000 Feet with Jessica L. Cozzi

    In this chapter, we’re joined by YA romance author Jessica L. Cozzi to talk forced proximity, big teenage emotions, and her debut novel We’ve Hit Turbulence. We dig into what it’s like writing a book while also working as a publishing publicist, seeing the industry from both sides of the mic, and knowing how the sausage gets made. Plus, we play a quick game of Real or Fake Genres, where things get weird fast. Matt & Andrea here. Thanks for joining us on this journey. We'd love to hear from you.

    Ch 33: New Year’s Promises, Legendary author Jayne Ann Krentz, and a Deal with the Devil

    We’re starting 2026 with coffee, chaos, and a little main-character energy. First up, Matt and Andrea swap New Year’s resolutions and immediately rate how likely they are to actually happen. Spoiler: confidence is high, follow-through is questionable. Then we’re joined by a true legend, Jayne Ann Krentz, for a fun and thoughtful conversation about writing, intuition, romantic suspense, psychic energy, and her upcoming novel The Shop on Hidden Lane. It’s craft talk, career wisdom, and a few “wow” moments all rolled into one. And because this is Our Next Chapter, we also dive into our podcast-within-a-podcast, The Bedazzled Archives, where we revisit the gloriously unhinged 2000 film Bedazzled and ask the important questions. Like… did we love it? Matt & Andrea here. Thanks for joining us on this journey. We'd love to hear from you. Visit us at www.OurNextChapterPodcast.com

    Ch 32: LaQuette Talks Second Chances and Santa Shows Up!

    We’re hanging out with romance author LaQuette and chatting about her latest novel Janae Sanders' Second Time Around, releasing January 6th! We talk second chances, high school enemies who come back hot and emotionally competent, and why romance after real-life experience just feels good. There’s soap operas, Brooklyn stories, confident heroines, and a very fun game where charming men keep turning out to be walking red flags. If you like smart romance, messy conversations, and brilliant authors, give it a listen. Matt & Andrea here. Thanks for joining us on this journey. We'd love to hear from you.

    Ch 31: Gratitude with a Side of Cafeteria Turkey

    Matt and Andrea roll into Thanksgiving week with birthday chaos, cafeteria turkey lunches, and a quick chat about why gratitude hits a little harder when you’re raising teens. They dig into how gratitude shapes your brain, why it shows up so often in modern romance, and what they’re reading this week. They wrap with “Thankful or Thankful It’s Over,” a fast Thanksgiving game full of hot takes on everything from matching tattoos to big airport gestures. Matt & Andrea here.

    Ch 30: The Joy (and Loops) of Writing with Erin La Rosa

    Author Erin La Rosa joins us to talk about her writing journey, the creation of the Burbank Book Festival, and the story behind her new time-loop rom-com. We dig into the balance between joy and grief in storytelling, what community means to a writer, and why giving yourself permission to break the rules might be the key to better writing. Matt also tests out a few birthday gift ideas for Andrea, and together we imagine what our perfect time-loop day would look like. Matt & Andrea here. Thanks for joining us on this journey.
