FROM THIS WEEK’S SUPER FAN…  Nicole’s reading passions started early on in her childhood and by age 10 was reading Agatha Christie and Victoria Holt - and she still love mysteries - but when she discovered her mother’s box of novels penned by the likes of Jackie Collins, Johanna Lindsey, Jude Deveraux , Nicole was a goner for the romance genre. She even ventured down the erotica reading rabbit hole with Shayla Black, Lacy Alexander, and Delilah Devlin. But in 2020, discovered military protector romance. And she fell HARD - All of which, no doubt, is why she is currently working on her debut romance release. Nicole will be coming back on the podcast in January to talk more about that.  In this episode Nicole and I talk about one of her favorite authors, Kennedy Mitchell, and the fourth book in Kennedy’s Protection Series - Mine to Keep - with mystery, suspense, emotional wounds - and it’s not the swoon-worthy hero who needs most of the healing. OUR AUTHOR WITH A NEW RELEASE…  I got to chat with debut author Kate Goldbeck about her novel You, Again  - an inverted, subverted twist on the cult classic movie - When Harry Met Sally - which released on September 12th of this year. In addition to talking about this quirky rom-com, we learn more about how Kate was discovered by her agent and landed her very first book deal with Penguins Random House.  And you can keep learning more, and find all the places to follow her from her website.  There was a quick mention while we were recording about her fellow debut author, Kate Robb. Kate’s debut, This Spells Love novel releases December 5th. Also because I also forgot to ask Kate what she is currently reading, I messaged her and she said:  “I’m reading an arc of The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon! (it’s enemies to lovers fantasy!) She completely reimagined the setting to reflect southeast asian folklore and it’s fantastic! Would recommend for people who loved Fourth Wing [by Rebecca Yarros]. The Hurricane Wars releases tomorrow - October 3rd!  MANY THANKS TO OUR EPISODE SPONSOR…  Check out C.C. Wood’s Devil Springs Series starting with Kidnapped by the Vampire.  As for me - and what I’m reading: I’m reading last week’s episode sponsor’s first book in her Fable Notch Series - Once More With You - which you can grab for FREE on Amazon…  I’m also reading our OCTOBER PATREON BOOK CLUB selection - the book brought to us by last week’s Super Fan, Katta Kid… Coming Clean - Jen Trihn. Grab your copy and meet up with us on October 19th to talk all the shrimp chips goodness of this angsty romance.   The Podcast's links: Website: www.romancereaderspodcast.com  Patreon:  patreon.com/romancereaderspodcast  GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/RRSB-Grant  Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/romancereaderspodcast  Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/romancereaderspodcast  Thanks to Music Unlimited and their crazy good talent to create the music for this podcast.

This coming season, we'll be doing 2 segments per episode. The first segment is with a Super Fan. Email me if you're a Super Fan of a Not Yet Bestseller. I want to talk to you about the book you love so much and hopefully we can convince other listeners to give it a read and there will be more people for you to talk to about that book. Email me. The second segment is for Authors with a New Release. I'd love to talk to you about you and your book. You can be an Indie Author or a Traditionally published one. One with a history of bestsellers or not. You don't even have to have any other books out. This could be your debut novel! But it DOES have to be a new release. Email me and let's see if the show calendar is open for your release. (I do already have several on the calendar, so don't wait to reach out.)

Instead of Becca being surrounded by authors, I was surrounded by bloggers in this episode. Becca and I talked with Leslie Murphy of the She Reads Romance Books blog. As Becca the Bibliophile herself said that the She Reads Romance Books blog is the "inspiration for bloggers." We started with: Becca was in LA for the book The Chameleon Effect by Joe Arden She was on a PRIDE reading kick… Marley Valentine’s What We Broke Bella (Annabella) Stone's MM Military Romances Annabeth Albert Kindle Alexander   Lissa Lynn Thomas' Hard to Love, Book 4 of the Renegade Series (Apologies for not having specific titles for Annabella, Annabeth, and Kindle. Becca usually does these show notes and would have put those in. Please check out these beloved authors of hers.)  I’m reading: Baking Me Crazy by Karla Sorensen And my Dream Series which I’m re-writing. If you’d like to read the series now, go right ahead. They'll be unpublished soon and republished starting in October - the 10 Year Publiversary of that first book in the series and the start of my author career. (Becca was so incredibly supportive of this entire endeavor. She was my friend before I wrote the series and yes, the character named Becca in the series is named after Becca Manuel.) We talked about BookBonanza which is June 23-24, 2023. Becca was so excited to the event and VERY MUCH looking forward to the author who brought US together - Raine Miller and her character Ethan Blackstone in the Blackstone Affair Series. Leslie Murphy of the She Reads Romance Books Blog. Becca and Leslie bonded over R.L. Mathewson historical romances. Izzy shared her favorite historicals: Sierra Simone’s Markham Hall Series and Raine Miller’s historicals (tho I forgot to mention the titles during the show. Anyway, those are: The Undoing of a Libertine and The Passions of Darius.) Leslie's current reads:  Rebecca Yarrow’s Fourth Wing (Becca was chomping at the bit to read it!) J T Geissinger’s Liars Like Us Alexis Hall’s Mortal Follies Becca was reading: Kelly Elliot’s Meet Me in Montana Olivia Michale’s More Than Rumors https://amzn.to/3Je3lb2  (Book 8 in the Watchdog Security Series https://amzn.to/42GO3Td Kris Michaels’ Declan https://amzn.to/3qO63hh, book 3 in the Hollister Book Series https://amzn.to/463XZsS And Anna Blakely’s Marked for Danger  https://amzn.to/3JkTVuv Book 5 in the Marked Series And re-reading ALL of Riley Edwards’ books for content for Riley to post - because, after all, Becca worked for Riley (or as Riley says, “I [Riley] work for Becca.”  Izzy had just finished reading:  Street Smart by Aly Stiles of the multi-author Work for It Series, and We’re Made of Moments by former guest, Molly McLain, a single dad small town romance DO NOT MISS stalking our Guest - Leslie Murphy Leslie's website, 2023 Most Anticipated Romance Books, her Favorite Authors, her Favorite Books, many of which were mentioned on the show, and more!  And DEFINITELY grab the AMAZING Reading Journal she created that I LOVE.  >>> And last - but NOT LEAST - Her Kid’s Tween Reading blog - We Read Tween Books  AND lastly, if you’d like to contribute to the fund for Becca’s family: here’s that GoFundMe link.  Donate, Share, or do both.
