113. An Interview with Angela James

Sarah was finally in the same place as Angela James, whom Jane and Sarah mention frequently in podcast episodes as “Angie,” and they both had time for an interview. Angie is the Editorial Director of Carina Press, the digital first imprint of Harlequin. We talk about what she’s reading currently, what she thinks of Scribd, the potential for menage wizard biscuits, and also about space opera.

Reaper’s Stand

This podcast is brought to you by Berkley, publisher of Reaper’s Stand, the latest bad-boy biker romance in Joanna Wylde’s edgy, sizzling Reapers Motorcycle Club series.

As Reapers Motorcycle Club president, Reese “Picnic” Hayes has given his entire life to the club. After losing his wife, he knew he’d never love another woman. And with two daughters to raise and a club to manage, that was just fine with him. These days, Reese keeps his relationships free and easy–he definitely doesn’t want to waste his time on a glorified cleaning lady like London Armstrong

Too bad he’s completely obsessed with her.

Besides running her own business, London’s got her junkie cousin’s daughter to look after–a more reckless than average eighteen-year-old. Sure she’s attracted to the Reapers’ president, but she’s not stupid. Reese Hayes is a criminal and a thug. But when her young cousin gets caught up with a ruthless drug cartel, Reese might be the only man who can help her. Now London has to make the hardest decision of her life–how far will she go to save her family?

  1. StarOpal says:

    It doesn’t seem to be popping up in Itunes???

  2. SB Sarah says:

    @StarOpal:

    Thank you – will chase down that problem now. Thanks for letting me know.

    Oh, iTunes. You’re so finicky. (Seriously, iTunes is SO EXACTING and so picky. Not even in a quirky adorable heroine sense.)

  3. library addict says:

    Sarah’s DNF review of Meg Benjamin’s Long Time Gone was what got me reading the series. I was my usual have-to-read-them-in-order self so I read the first three books and freebie story before I got to Long Time Gone. And the tuna reference did not bother me at all. When I read it I remember thinking that’s what the fuss about? But I have had small things throw me out of a story, so I totally understand where Sarah was coming from.

    I was laughing when you discussed the book again during this podcast as Long Time Gone remains my favorite of the Konigsburg series. That DNF review sold four books at the time and four since then as I have kept up with the series.

    Fun interview.

  4. Ailsa says:

    Hehe, I really enjoyed listening to this. I really want to read Nalini Singh & Ilona Andrews’ stories in Night Shift, I’m glad to hear you guys think that all the stories in it are good. I’m not a big anthology reader, so sometimes I just wait till stories are available separately, but I think I’ll give this one a go.
    And this is another time I’ve heard people recommend A Bollywood Affair recently – maybe I’ll have to look for that.

    ~Ailsa

  5. Jane Stewart says:

    As of 5:35 pm Chicago time, podcast 113 is still not showing in iTunes. I even tried iTunes’ “Download All” button, but I only got the first 100+.

    Thank for looking into it.

  6. SB Sarah says:

    @Jane:

    Yeah, I’m not sure what iTunes’ problem is, but we’re working on it. iTunes gives so little information about why something doesn’t work. I’m sorry about that.

    @LIbrary Addict:

    Despite the tuna, which gave me the icks, I loved that series, too. I especially loved how strong and capable and determined and badass the women were.

  7. Anne says:

    Ditto with the problems with iTunes. Next, I accessed the website on my ipad and started to listen, but the audio kept cutting out. This may be a wi-fi issue and not a site issue, because I ended up listening by going to the website from my iphone and pressing play. This option worked fine, so I could listen while fixing dinner.

  8. @justlovesbooks says:

    Not happening on iTunes? Boohoo Hope it gets sorted

  9. SB Sarah says:

    iTunes is a mystery wrapped in enigma, with no error codes or explanations to help you fix what isn’t working. Not sure what sort of hero that is, but iTunes is that one.

  10. Jodi says:

    Add me to the people whining about iTunes not giving me my DBSA podcast. ITunes can be EVIL.

  11. SB Sarah says:

    I know – iTunes makes me whine, and also drink wine. Not necessarily in that order.

  12. Julie says:

    My Android app called the RSS feed invalid so I deleted, searched for the feed in the app again (Podcast Addict) and was good to go. I’m glad I follow you on Twitter for the heads up there’s a new podcast because otherwise I would’ve never have known!

  13. lorenet says:

    I’m having issues with the podcast. I use BeyondPod on my android phone. When I tried to update the feed, I get the 404error. I deleted the feed and did a new search. When I refresh the feed, it still fails (404 not found).

  14. Julie says:

    The (dead, nonworking etc) link my RSS came from
    was
    http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/blog/feed_podcast/

    The updated link it’s fetched from is
    http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/blog/feed_podcast/

  15. KB says:

    I am using Beyond Pod also, and it is still not working, even when I delete the feed and add it again. The two links above look the same, could you verify the updated link? I might try another app as well… Can you tell this is my favorite podcast?

  16. Julie says:

    That was the correct link I posted. The newer link is
    http://smartbitchestrashybooks.com/feed/podcast/

  17. Julie says:

    Ack. It’s too early.

    The working RSS link is
    http://smartbitchestrashybooks.com/feed/podcast/

  18. Sally says:

    First, let me just say what a great idea it is to post the podcast transcript on the same page as the original podcast post. But I can’t quickly find anything on this page because there are a lot of graphics vying for my attention. The link to the transcript actually doesn’t stand out, and the hearts surrounding it blends in with the social media links. Since this new web layout is still in the beta stages, I hope you all will be able to work something out.

  19. SB Sarah says:

    The feed is definitely misbehaving, and we’re working on it. I’m so sorry!

  20. lauredhel says:

    I got it working again in iTunes by putting that updated feed URL into File > Subscribe to Podcast. Yay!

  21. Jane Stewart says:

    @lauredhel, Thank you for saying how to do that in iTunes. I didn’t know to do File > Subscribe to Podcast. Anyway, it worked, and I have 113 now. Yay!

  22. Heather says:

    Thank Julie – I have the podcast back using the URL. ????

  23. Jane Stewart says:

    Thank you to Julie for the link and to Lauredhel for the how to do it.

    I’m bummed out that iTunes changed the way they do Podcasts without telling the User. I’ve never had to use a link before. iTunes gave me Podcasts in a different way before this one.

  24. Kaetrin says:

    FWIW, I went onto Podcast Pickle and clicked on the “send to iTunes” icon and I got this episode which wasn’t showing up in iTunes.

  25. Michael says:

    On the intro/outro question, the OED has the following entry:-

    outro, n.
    Pronunciation:  Brit. /?a?tr??/ , U.S. /?a?tro?/
    Etymology:  Blend of out adv., prep., and int. and intro n.
    colloq.
     
      A concluding section, esp. of a piece of music or a broadcast programme. Freq. contrasted with intro.
