Romance at a Glance

Another great author interview for our beautiful RAAG Hags! Golden Angel specializes in kink and BDSM, specifically in historical romance. We had an interesting chat about how to write BDSM in romance, putting kink in both contemporary and historical - and what's possible with an open mind! Bridget and Golden Angel also talk tips for new authors, writing what you want to see, consensual non con, cosplay, fantasy authors and books we love, and how it felt to get a special shout-out from one of her favorites.

We welcome Tanya from babygyalreadit on Tiktok to talk about an author we haven’t read before! Priceless by Miranda Silver is a college BDSM romance with a twist - and it’s SUPER hot. Bridget and Tanya chat about voyeurism, paying for pleasure, humiliation to praise kinks, which parts of the relationship to show, MAD dirty talk, and actually using safe words during sex. The hero does his best to play into the heroine’s kinks (and ours) and honestly RAAG Hags, there are too many to list! Tanya loves her dark romance, so she was a perfect guest for the show.

Amy Daws never expected Blindsided to be the book that blew up! Nevertheless, she has plenty of insight to offer on this episode of Authors at a Glance. We talk Tiktok trends, how to hook people with a video, the “less is more” aspect we’ve grown to love, and how it felt to see her book soar to #1! Amy also gives us a look into her writing process - her first book, how she got into writing about British boys, writing sex scenes, revising while she writes, and self loathing procrastination as motivation. (It’s okay - we’ll love her enough for the both of us.)

One of our favorite bookstagrammers, Kate LeBeau of romantically_inclined, joins us for our favorite orc author Finely Fenn weaving us a tale of kidnapping, high fantasy, and polyamorous mountain dwellers. Did someone say magical sperm? We did, actually. We’re yelling it from the mountaintops. It heals, it nourishes, it tastes fantastic, and there’s 900 pages to get through! Kate LeBeau offers hilarious insights and anecdotes on one of the spiciest and plot heavy books we’ve reviewed so far on this podcast. And we don’t say that lightly! These orcs have it all and there's plenty to go around.

Bridget and Breana embark on the brand new (and highly anticipated) book by Katee Roberts: Electric Idol, the sequel to Neon Gods. And there’s a lot to talk about. Breana didn’t disappoint - we chat mommy issue boys, fake dating plots, assassins who snuggle, court politics of socialite gods, and enemies to lovers: where it goes right and where it goes wrong. There’s plenty of comparison to Neon Gods, but we give Electric Idol its fair shot and its dues (though Breana is not thrilled about a blond love interest). We also get into the future books, crazy sisters and all. Stick with us for a talk about getting into booktok and how Breana got started there! 

Mentioned: 

Neon Gods by Katee Robert

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

Twist Me by Anna Zaires

Machiavellian by Bella Di Corte 

The Ritual by Shantel Tessier

We’ve been especially excited for this interview ever since we read The Business of Blood - and there was no shortage of things to talk about! We discuss the undeniable draw of a Scottish brogue, kinky vampires, her inspirations for her different love interests, and how she writes building sexual tension in her romance. The discussion of censorship, trigger warnings, and representation continues in our author interviews, with more interesting views and opinions - and Kerrigan shares the benefits of a dramatic writing atmosphere to bolster creativity. The debate between love interests for Fiona Mahoney rages on and we still think there’s nothing wrong with a little criminal ménage.

We talk Christmas traditions, the wonders of hermiting (no matter what the therapists say), the merit of fanfiction and our supreme appreciation for fanfiction.net, and the defense of quirky characters. We also had a great talk about the misrepresentation and experience of autism as authors and readers - the very slow progress of traditional publishing when it comes to diversity and the difficulty of fan interaction/engagement. We loved Penny Reid to death - this one is a must listen!

We were absolutely delighted to have Loretta Chase, author of Lord of Scoundrels and Mr. Impossible, on the show! A super open and charming guest, Auntie Loretta gave us all kinds of advice - writing wisdom, evolving the creative process throughout your life, killer dialogue, when to wear makeup, and what you need for a long lasting relationship. We also chatted endlessly about research rabbit holes, developing diversity, the best parts of writing romance, which member of the band to get with, and the sexiest Muppet. (Y’all know who it is.) Shani is still fangirling over this interview, so come fangirl with us!

The extremely well traveled author of What Happens in Denver joins us for an incredible interview, if we do say so ourselves. We jump from Japan to Turkey to England in the many stories of Liz’s life. She drops the title for the upcoming book based on her travel experiences as well as some deets about a new thriller! Liz also gave us some interesting advice about relationships and the journeys that different marriages go through - like her own, that started as friends with benefits! She kept us laughing and gasping and we’re sure you’ll feel the same.
