    Ch 41: The Stories We Carry with Irena Smith

    We kick things off with author signatures, big family updates, and the very strange feeling of watching their boys grow up and move toward their own next chapters. Then we're joined by Dr. Irena Smith, author of Troika, a powerful memoir about a three-day road trip across California with her mother and daughter that unfolds into something much deeper: family history, identity, generational dynamics, and the stories we carry with us. We talk improv and storytelling, how ADHD can be a creative superpower, the art of “show, don’t tell,” and what it means to write something true without losing the humor and lightness of real life. Plus, The Impossible Detour somehow becomes a time-traveling carnival romance. And to wrap it all up, we celebrate our anniversary with trivia from the years we started dating and got married, because nothing says romance like remembering Napster, Survivor, and Wedding Crashers.

    Ch 37: Make the Disasters Kiss with Jennifer Dugan

    We’re back with a conversation we loved with bestselling author Jenn Dugan, whose newest novel, Anderson in Bloom, is out tomorrow! Jenn shares her journey from writing after bedtime to publishing multiple books a year, and what it really means to write messy, complicated characters who still deserve big love.

    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!
