Can we talk
about how amazing the people of Romancelandia are for a minute? I mean, last month I got to fly to Minneapolis to hang out with narrator (and now author!) Andi Arndt and her co-author Tara Sivec to celebrate the upcoming launch of Heidi’s Guide to Four Letter Words. Not only did I get to hang out with them and have dinner with Andi and Tara at Andi’s parents’ house (serious [but keepin’ it low-key] squee moment hanging out at a narrator’s parents' HOUSE)…but fellow narrator Amy McFadden was ALSO there because she FLEW to Minneapolis to surprise Tara! Amy narrated Tara’s Jed Had to Die, and from there they hit off a real friendship. Isn’t that awesome!? I just can’t. It was too cute. And that was only one of the many stories I have from that weekend. Romance land is amazing, people! Don’t ever doubt it!

Nothing good ever comes from drinking a box of wine alone. So when I decided to entertain my drunken self by setting up some hand-me-down podcasting equipment and reading the steamy parts from romance novels, I never thought anyone would actually listen. The fact that I admitted my huge crush on my sexy next door neighbor made the whole thing even more mortifying. But sometimes life surprises you, and that’s how my podcast, Heidi’s Discount Erotica, was born. Now I, Heidi Larsen, a sweet former kindergarten teacher in Waconia, Minnesota, lead a scandalous double life.

Further proof of Romancelandia’s amazingness
Andi Arndt wrote an Audible Original with Tara Sivec, and it’s about a shy Minnesotan kindergarten teacher who gains confidence in herself by narrating ~sex scenes~…after consuming copious amounts of boxed wine. It’s so funny and cute and sweet and just absolutely what we all need. I am SO excited we get to bring this story to you (it’s out today!). One of the reasons I went to Minneapolis (see above) was to create this video with Andi and Tara about how Heidi’s Guide to Four Letter Words was made.
Let's See!

Want to listen in?

Sonja Fong isn’t afraid of a little chaos. As director of the League’s research center in Mystic Bayou, a tiny town in Louisiana that’s home to supernatural creatures and humans alike, she’s responsible for making sure things run smoothly. It’s not an easy task when her daily memos include lines like “new equipment is needed because the old equipment was destroyed by a temper tantrum involving dragonfire.”

Come on home to a Southern love story
We wanted to close out the summer with some sweet, smooth, Southern romances. To me, these gems are like home (I’m from Florida). They remind me of the long days getting drenched in the heat, the slanting rays of sunset, or that first bite of an overripe peach. Mmmm, time to tuck in.

Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower. Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants - namely, the boy from the tree house who taught her how to curse in sign language. Who taught her how to laugh. To live. To love. Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero. This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna. But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore.

Alexis Woods knows who she is -- or at least, she thought she did. She's number 17, point guard, MVP, all-star, co-captain of the Lady Raiders NCAA Division I women's basketball team. But there's a darkness growing inside of her, a darkness that started the night her beloved died in her arms, and if she doesn't turn things around soon, the darkness just might swallow her whole.

I never expected to be anyone’s white knight. That’s not a role I’ve ever played. But when the Casso crime family shifts into uncharted territory, they’re looking for a new hero, and they’re looking for me - Cannon Freeman, the black sheep. But my time in disgrace is at an end. It’s my turn to rise up and save the people who matter most to me. Even if my family has never given a damn about me, I will not let them fall. More than anything, I will not let her fall. One thing I know is true - in my life, nothing is ever what it seems.

Jack and I, we did everything backward. The day he lured me into his office - which was also the first day we met - he proposed. You'd think a guy who looked like him - a bit cold maybe, but still striking and very unattainable - would only ask the love of his life to marry him, right? You'd think he must be madly in love.
