If you thought Melanie Jacobson wrote New Orleans like a local would, you were right! We loved hearing about her upbringing in a southern family full of storytellers, especially a dad to whom she dictated her first stories before she could write. Later, her Earth Science class passed around chapters of whatever Melanie had written on the school bus that day. Listen in to find out whether grown-up Melanie's books earn her a new pair of shoes or a new pair of eyeglasses!

If you loved The One with the Kiss Cam, we have good news: it's just the beginning of Cindy Steel's upcoming series, all based on epic meet cutes. Listen in to hear all about it, as well as about Rebel Summer, which drops in July. But wait! There's more! You'll also enjoy super-relevant information about the differences between the Atlantic and the Pacific. 😉

Brothers Grimm, look out! Marie Soleil's modernized fairy tales are taking the sweet romance world by storm. Marie believes there can be just as much meaning and character development in books in books that are light and sweet. You'll love hearing how she chose her pen name(s) and you won't what Marie does for a living outside of writing! Tune in now to learn all about this talented sweet romance author!

She's not a procrastinator, but we really like her anyway! Ellie Hall is the USA Today bestselling author of over 80 sweet romances, and she was an absolute joy to talk to. She shared her love of surfing, how her parents inspired her to write, and how daily gratitude infuses all her books with a sense of fun and hope. You'll love getting to know her just like we did!
