This week's guest is Myah Ariel, the author of two contemporary romance novels that take place in the entertainment industry.

First we discussed how her mother's real life experience integrating an all-white school in the 1960s inspired her debut novel WHEN I THINK OF YOU. Then we dove into her new book NO ORDINARY LOVE, a deliciously sexy romance about a singer who falls in love with a baseball player while she's in the process of divorcing her unfaithful media mogul husband.

We talked about writing heroes who are worthy of the trust of heroines recovering from abusive relationships, and the real life divas who inspired her main character, Ella Simone.

Be advised that this episode contains discussion of emotional abuse and abusive litigation, weaponized prenups, and shitty men.
