Our podcast guest this week is Nancy Yeager (When We Were Friends, Red Adept, October 2022).  This was Nancy’s debut women’s fiction although during the time she worked on it with both a book coach and a developmental editor, she wrote and released six historical romances and six contemporary romances. This novel (one inspiration was a Steve Miller song) was complicated by not only two POV’s but also two timelines, one of which unspooled backwards. But her biggest challenge was the scramble at release time – due to a scheduling snafu, her launch window was only six weeks long and involved not only the standard marketing steps but also the task of recruiting a different street team for this new genre. Luckily, Nancy’s a quick study and she pulled it off.

Award-winning author Nancy Yeager writes commercial fiction, historical romance, and contemporary romantic suspense. When she’s not writing, she’s often pursuing fitness goals like completing 90-day fitness challenges and aspiring to achieve the perfect crow pose. She also spends her time drinking too much coffee, not enough red wine, and just the right amount of bourbon. She lives in Maryland with her husband and some very spoiled rescue cats. WHEN WE WERE FRIENDS is Nancy’s first book of women’s fiction.
