We’ve got romances and we’d like to share them! What do you get if you win? A box full of books! And we have two boxes to give away! We can promise they are new, unread, and printed on paper. We can also promise there will be at least five books, possibly more, in the box. And there will be stickers, too, for fun and sticking. There may be a mix of formats and sub-genres, … Continue reading Hot Summer Reading Grab Bag Giveaway →
Chris M. Hill, who is a member of the podcast Patreon, designed this banner because the Pride rally and the No Kings rally are at the same day: “I made myself a new sign as a treat.” When we saw it, we collectively lost our shit, and asked if we could spread the word about it. LOOK AT THIS. There is a free printable PDF or PNG at their KoFi, along with a pre-order for stickers … Continue reading No Kings, Yas Queens →

One of Chelsea Devantez’s listeners connected her to my show after my interview with Joanna Shupe. Meanwhile I’d been working up the nerve to ask her onto my show, and then the universe intervened through this lovely person. Thank you! I recapped Danielle Steel’s dog memoir on her show, and now, she’s in the guest chair on mine. We talk about her memoir, I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This (But I’m Going to Anyway), which … Continue reading 670. It’s Trash-ception with Chelsea Devantez of Glamourous Trash →

At the suggestion of some listeners, I split the Ads & Features into two parts, in part because it was very long, and also because there are 5 Fridays in May. Woot! You can find Part I here (or in your favorite podcast app). Part II of the Ads & Features from February 2015 features HelenKay Dimon just dropping all sorts of information left and right. We talk about: How many romantic suspense covers look … Continue reading 669. RT Rewind – February 2015 Ads & Features Part II →
