Romance is the number one genre on Amazon and the Romance Writers of America estimates that one in three books sold is a love story.

Eve Elliot is a published romance author, a prolific audio performer and was recently featured on Public Radio's "Endless Thread". She joins me to discuss the evolution of romance writing from "Pride and Prejudice" to today. She traces her own writer's journey from telling herself stories in the back yard, through non-fiction and up to today, where she is sharing her latest work, tentatively titled "Noah and Kate", chapter by chapter, on YouTube.

We talk about the components of an effective love scene, how the sights and sounds surrounding the participants can be more powerful than articulating the moves, and how men and women process love stories differently.

Eve is also the writer / producer / director of the radio drama, "The Death of Dr. Davidson," which features a plethora of noted audio performers. She is one of the best known audio performers working today with over 25 million downloads and tens of thousands of followers across virtually every social media platform.

Author Barbara Conrey is debuting her first novel - at the age of 70! I'm a huge fan of people living their best lives in their later years, so I'm delighted that I got to sit down and talk to her about writing and how she came to create this particular book. Nowhere Near Goodbye is the story of a woman forced to make a choice between family and the research she is doing to find a cure for the form of brain cancer that killed her childhood friend.

In this episode of Authors on the Air, we visit with August Norman, the creator of journalist Caitlin Bergman who is starring in her second thriller, “Sins of the Mother”. August traces his circuitous path from Indiana to Hollywood, his time as a member of a comedy troupe and a screenwriter and how a secondary character ended up becoming his star.
