Kate Golden on "If Not For My Baby": On Dreams Deferred and Writing a Rockstar Romance


Listen Later

Join us for an insightful and intimate conversation with USA Today bestselling author Kate Golden about her first contemporary romance, If Not For My Baby. This heartwarming and inspiring rockstar romance has everything we about a contemporary romance novel: a FMC with character development, pop-culture references, and a soft-boi forest-daddy with a heart of gold.

We talk with Kate about how the novel came to be, how her Sacred Stones trilogy and romantasy background informed her contemporary setting, and how she relates to Clementine, the FMC, despite how they are each others antithesis in many ways. As an extra special bonus, Kate gives us insight to her future projects and what she hopes to pursue after her next slate of books are published.

If you’re a fan of contemporary romance, good guy rockstars, small-town heroines who make it big, and the heart and soul of Kate Golden's characters, this episode is for you.
