Hello, listener! This episode features the incredible Lavanya Lakshmi (you might recognize her name because I included her book LEAVE AND COME BACK on my list of All-Nighters for 2026 so far!) and we're talking about families in romance—blood ties, found family, blending families, multicultural families, and more.

There's no HEA with reproductive choice! Jessica Cale of Dirty Sexy History joins me to on this week's episode to discuss BOMBSHELL by Sarah MacLean (the first in the Hell's Belles series) featuring bisexual icon, Sesily Talbot, and Large American Man™, Caleb Calhoun, plus Jessica's upcoming history of contraceptives and abortion, FORBIDDEN FRUIT (out 1/27/27). Obviously, we talk a lot about birth control, abortion, pregnancy, and women's/gender rights history, so if those topics make you uncomfortable, this episode might not be for you. Enjoy the show!

Hey comrades! Eloisa James is on the podcast this week to talk about her newest book THE LAST LADY B, first person in historical, gothic romance, Kickstarters, indie publishing, being part of Julia Quinn's inaugural book box, and Shakespeare in romance. You may remember I've mentioned that Eloisa was my advisor in college and arguably the spark that lit the fuse that eventually burst in to the flames of this podcast (did I take that metaphor too far?)--and she is so brilliant and clear-eyed and really has her finger on the pulse of this genre. Enjoy the show!

*Note: Eloisa mentions that Sonali Dev writes Shakespeare retellings, but she actually writes Jane Austen retellings--still excellent, just a different author!
