Welcome back to the studio, Catherine Peace, romance author. And our new addition, Ella Shawn, author of Southern Gothic Erotica. Let’s get to know her for just a minute.

Last week we broke down some tropes and sub genres of Romance. It was mostly fun to shock Rex with all the various layers and requirements of Romance writing. It’s more complicated than non-readers might suspect.

Today I thought we’d start with out favorites list. So here are the categories and we’ll just add ours as we go:

• Favorite sub genre?
• Favorite trope (here’s a list)?
• Favorite couple?
• Favorite era?
• Favorite author?
• What title brought you into the romance genre as a reader?
• What author brought you into the genre as a writer?
