Fall is my favorite season, darlings, so of course I set a whole book there. With A Fall to Remember arriving September 1st, The Tech Guy and I sat down for a spoiler-free deep dive into my new rom-com. I share why this one feels so different from my holiday rom-coms, how I found Miranda Brown, an accidental influencer who goes viral for all the right reasons, and the real (and reimagined) charm of Half Moon Bay, California. We talk about the hardest shift from writing mysteries to romance, weaving four points of view and multiple love stories, and one gorgeous first for me: sprayed edges. Grab a warm drink and settle in, then tell us: are you a lover of spice or no spice?

We're back from our travels, darlings, and my inbox was overflowing, so we did the only sensible thing and turned your questions into an episode. This one is a true grab bag, pulled from the messages and DMs that landed while we were away. I share my honest take on querying agents now that AI has flooded the marketplace, why I fully humanize my own creative process, and how you develop a writing voice that's unmistakably yours. Then we give the readers some love, answering why a few books aren't on audio or Kobo, why Trouble Is Brewing will never be in print, where to find the recipes, plus my very particular writing quirks.

Tune in and let us know what you think. Do you have a question we didn't answer in this episode? Send us a message!
