458. Hard Sell and Revolutionary Romance with Hudson Lin

Hard Sell
A | BN | K
My guest this week is author Hudson Lin (she/her) whose new book Hard Sell is out 25 May! Hard Sell is a trope-tastic queer romance between Daniel and Tobin, who have a secret affair while working opposite sides of a business deal. Lin and I talk about the writing process and how she portrays Daniel’s professional burnout in the story (no spoilers, I promise). We also discuss why Lin thinks romance is a revolutionary genre, and how it’s disruptive to existing power structures.

    Thanks for this interview, Sarah and Lin. And for the transcript, garlic knitter. That Confucius quote is thought provoking, Sarah; it may feature as lunchtime conversation today.

  2. Pear says:

    I read the summary for HARD SELL before listening to the podcast, and I thought, “oh no, I have to read this” because I work in Daniel’s field / Lin’s former field or an adjacent one, though not in a traveling role. Having listened to the episode, I am very intrigued and have just preordered! I’m anticipating having to put it down in places to process some overlap in feelings, especially re: interacting with entitled bros.

    I’m looking forward to HARD SELL. 🙂 I have a book of my own coming out in July that features a venture capitalist, and I’m very glad I wrote it before Lin’s book crossed my radar!

  4. Kareni says:

    Can you share more information, @chacha1, or a link to your book? Congratulations!

  5. chacha1 says:

    Hi Kareni, Thanks! The pre-order assembly is in process. 🙂 There will be a launch post on my blog (click my handle to link).

    Thank you, chacha1!
