Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Author Spotlight: Jeaniene Frost
Q: What keeps you motivated during drafting and revisions?
Working with an editor who helps with pacing, embracing the chaotic joy of discovery while writing, and balancing the writing with the business side of publishing to avoid losing sight of the joy in creating.
Author Spotlight: Jeaniene Frost
Q: What was the inspiration for Curse of Beasts and Magic?
The idea came from a collection of small inspirations rather than a single dream, including questions about dark magic infecting a person and how love would work in that context, leading to a dark Beauty and the Beast-inspired story with a monster inside the heroine.
Author Spotlight: Jeaniene Frost
Q: So what initially drew you to writing?
I was an avid reader who consumed romance and fantasy from a young age, and despite unfinished stories in my teens, I always knew I wanted to write and eventually finish a book.
Author Spotlight: Sarah A Bailey
Q: So as a lifelong reader, what drew you to romance as a genre?
Bailey describes starting with YA and contemporary romances, then discovering adult romance during college and a quarantine, realizing romance offers emotional payoff and balance for readers while allowing heavy topics to be explored through hopeful love.
Author Spotlight: Nalini Singh
Q: What was it like writing Archangel's Eternity, the final book in the arc?
Singh describes the process as bittersweet, proud of the ending yet sad to say goodbye to long-beloved characters, and explains the emotional and thematic balance she aimed for in concluding Elena and Raphael's mortal-immortal journey.
