  Coastal Vibes and Small Town Crime | Author Interview: Courtney Giardina 14.09.2026 56min

  Our guest quit her job in Nashville and moved to North Carolina to become an actress. Three months later the world shut down…so she started writing about the Carolina coast instead. This week we're joined by Courtney G. Foutz, who writes contemporary romance and women's fiction as Courtney Giardina. We get into all of it. The journal she kept through a divorce, and what happened when she started sharing it online. Running an independent publishing house, and the cupcake crawl she booked across Toronto to launch somebody else's novel. How you fill a small town with liars when only one of them is a murderer. Why chasing a perfect first draft is the thing slowing you down. ANDREW WAS ON VACATION AGAIN…so we have too much freedom to tangent! STAY TO THE END…there is no book content, just some really…WEIRD…vibes.  FIND COURTNEY Website — https://www.courtneygiardina.comInstagram — @courtneygfoutzTikTok — @courtneygwritesNewsletter — https://courtneygfoutz.substack.com Signed paperbacks and full collections are available direct through her website.

  A Dark Romance and a Banging Playlist | Author Interview: D.C. Powers 07.09.2026 1h 11min

  This week we're joined by indie author D.C. Powers to talk about The Stalker's Playlist.Cindel is deaf. She finds a single earbud left behind at the pub where she bartends, and the songs that start playing are laced with messages about her own past. Her brother is dead. Her boyfriend vanished. Somebody is following her…and he is the only one telling her the truth.We get into all of it. Why a book about music has a deaf main character, and why that was the whole point. The earbud versus the hearing aid, and the consent question hiding in that choice. And how many words are too many for a debut novel?Also DC never watched a single episode of The Sopranos, but she did the research to make the mafia a major antagonist.Are dystopian novels a gateway to dark romance??Andrew also asked an AI for a book recommendation instead of asking the two people he makes a book podcast with. Can you believe this guy?!STAY TO THE END. CJ went to the Hear Me Out Committee at Bright Side Books for a live Smut, Marry, Kill…and then she did one to Holly. Holly cries. Andrew makes it worse. Somebody gets blocked.CATCH D.C. POWERS IN PERSONSeptember 19, 11 to 4, Bright Side Books in Raleigh, NC. Special editions and painted edge copies.

  Monster Romance vs. Paranormal Romance — We Finally Settled It | Author Interview: B.L. Brown 24.08.2026 1h 5min

  The question as old as time…are vampires and werewolves monster romance, or is it straight paranormal? We bring in a subject matter expert to give the official ruling.B.L. Brown (Britta) writes across three worlds:— the sapphic monster romance of Camp Cryptid— the witchy urban fantasy of Witch of the Demesne— and Beer Hall Brides, a cozy fairy-tale romance set at a magical Oktoberfest where every beer hall gets its own love story, built on folklore creatures from the German AlpsWe also get into the "what if" engine behind monster romance (but seriously, how does the anatomy of a faun work?), why you should meticulously plan your red herrings but let the romance surprise you, and the one-bed trope that was just supposed to be a joke and turned into one of her favorite scenes.Plus…romance is NOT FLUFF! The bodily autonomy thread running through Ice Planet Barbarians. The student debt and sex-work conversation buried in Morning Glory Milking Farm. Why Unhinged — yup, that Unhinged, the one about a sentient doorknob — is a genuinely smart Greek myth allegory.Britta also gives three pieces of advice for new writers, including tossing out the term "aspiring."Make sure to stay to the end, where Holly and CJ react to Sarah J. Maas wiping her Instagram to announce her upcoming Valkyrie Cycle books, A Court of Splintered Harmony and A Court of Forgotten Melody. We have some hot takes about the vibes.Andrew was on vacation.
