Welcome to episode three of season five, nerds! Join us as we discuss the following:

Stay tuned for our author with Courney Deane at the (59:39) mark!

Courtney Deane has been a writer and pursuer of happily-ever-afters since she can remember. As a full-time freelance writer, her days are spent working for print, digital, and broadcast entities, as well as for a variety of PR and marketing clients. She continues her craft by dedicating some space each day to work on her fiction books. After both of her parents died, Deane worked to turn those tragedies into something beautiful—an effort that inspired her debut novel, When Happily Ever After Fails. She holds bachelor’s degrees in English and sociology from UC Irvine and a master’s in journalism from USC. Deane lives in San Diego, California, with her husband, daughter, and rescue dog—her very own happily-ever-after.

Listen in as we chat more about Courtney’s book, grief and healing, and her other upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @authorcourtneydeane

Hello, fellow nerds! We had the best time chatting with Gina L Maxwell, author of the Deviant Kings series and Seducing Cinderella!

Gina L. Maxwell is a New York Times, USA Today, and #1 International bestselling author living in the upper Midwest, despite her scathing hatred of snow and cold weather. As a lifelong romance novel addict, she began writing as another way of enjoying her love of Happily Ever Afters.

Her debut novel in 2012, Seducing Cinderella, hit the bestseller lists within a month of its release and continues to be a fan favorite more than a decade later. 

When she’s not reading, writing, or spending way too much on planners and office supplies, Gina enjoys hanging out with her son and daughter who’ve left the nest, snuggling her many fur babies, and dreaming of her someday-move to someplace tropical.

Listen in as we chat more about Gina’s books, completing her Deviant Kings series, her love for paint by numbers, and her other upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @ginalmaxwell
