Notes:

Names are important. Towards the beginning of this conversation we talk about how to pronounce Helen Hoang’s last name. We were close, but a little off. The phonetic spelling of Hoang is HHWae-NG.

The Verbivore references several details from author Helen Hoang’s author’s note that was included in the back of her paperback edition.

Fable references a series that we did on Fable and the Verbivore about writing Romantic Chemistry and another on Physical Intimacy taken from a behavioral psychology perspective. Here are those episodes:

- Episode 15: How to write great romantic chemistry

- Episode 16: Writing romantic chemistry part 2

- Episode 71: Let's talk about writing physical intimacy

- Episode 72: Let's talk about writing physical intimacy (part 2)
