In this episode, we talk about the romance books that inspired us to become authors.

In this week's Love at First Write podcast episode, we’re diving into the art of writing a sexy love interest. From charming characteristics to swoon-worthy dialogue, we’ll break down what makes a love interest irresistible on the page.

In this episode of Love at First Podcast, we're tuning in to a topic every romance reader loves: the unsung heroes of romance novels—the friends. These fictional BFFs aren't just sidekicks; they’re often the heart and humour of the story, adding layers of warmth, comic relief, and wisdom. We’re diving into the unforgettable friends who coax protagonists out of heartbreak, keep them grounded, and sometimes even set up those fated encounters with “the one.” We’ll chat about the traits that make these friends so lovable, the way they enhance the main love story, and how they teach us that sometimes friendship is the first step to romance.

In this episode of Love at First Write, we’re diving into the intricate dance between writers and their reviews. Whether glowing praise or harsh critiques, reviews can be both a writer’s best friend and worst enemy. Join us as we discuss our different approaches to reviews.

In this Love at First Write episode, we discuss one of the most exciting moments in an author’s journey—book launches!
