Gay Romance Show - MM Author Podcast

This week I’m speaking with Charlie Novak, author of the queer romance series Off the Pitch and Roll for Love, as well as the standalone Strawberry Kisses.We chat about how Charlie went from writing Supernatural fan fiction, to what she describes as "British fluff." We do a nerdy deep dive into her creative process, and, for the authors in the audience, we also discuss impostor syndrome and the value of having author friends.LINKS*Amazon AffiliateCharlieNovak.com https://charlienovak.com/Charlie Novak | Amazon https://amzn.to/3txGIViCharlie Novak | Facebook https://www.facebook.com/charlie.novak.7712Charlie's Angels https://www.facebook.com/groups/1287247458080320 BOOKS by CHARLIE NOVAKOff the Pitch series https://amzn.to/3drq6sHBreakaway https://amzn.to/3eeK9tsExtra Time https://amzn.to/2QsNA7LFinal Score https://amzn.to/3wZhS2VOff the Pitch: The Complete Collection https://amzn.to/3trkwfqStrawberry Kisses https://amzn.to/3gjT7bFRoll for Love series https://amzn.to/3sr4XmNNatural Twenty https://amzn.to/2RL5W4zCharisma Check https://amzn.to/3x5FlzqProficiency Bonus https://amzn.to/2RJXYJ1OTHER AUTHORS MENTIONEDLily Morton | Amazon https://amzn.to/2nj0tTaToby Wise | Amazon https://amzn.to/2QsMjgZCarly Marie | Amazon https://amzn.to/3drrtaPLane Hayes | Amazon https://amzn.to/2QyVdtcBOOKS by SLADE JAMESBear Camp SeriesThe Uncut Wood (A Bear Camp Short) https://amzn.to/2OT2ao8Grumpy Bear (A Bear Camp Novel) https://amzn.to/2OS0taCSUBSCRIBEApple (iOS) | Spotify | Stitcher (Android)Are you new to podcasts?How to subscribe to my podcast — freeHOST LINKSSlade James sladejames.comMM Author Podcast gayromance.show SUPPORT THE SHOWPatreon patreon.com/sladejames

Lily Morton is the English author of the bestselling Mixed Messages, Finding Home, and Close Proximity series. She writes contemporary romances about witty men, and her stories are full of warmth and sarcasm. Lily lives in sunny England with her husband and two children, all of whom claim that they haven’t had a proper conversation with her since she bought her first laptop. She loves chocolate and Baileys and the best of all creations – Chocolate Baileys! Her lifetime’s ambition is to have a bath in peace without being shouted by one of her family.In previous episode 04, I interviewed Lily about her writing background and creative process. She agreed to chat with me again specifically about how she approaches writing multiple series, and creating a new series, in a new genre, built around a recurring couple.LINKSWINTER WONDERLAND STORY GIVEAWAYProlificWorks -- Jan 1-10, 2021https://claims.prolificworks.com/gg/byOht6hSnKxZofopu6Uc180 authors, including:Playground Games by Lily MortonThe Uncut Wood by Slade JamesGUEST LINKS - LILY MORTONE:04 -- Previous Lily Morton Interviewhttps://sladejames.simplecast.com/episodes/lily-morton LilyMortonAuthor.com http://lilymortonauthor.com/Lily’s Snark Squad https://www.facebook.com/groups/SnarkSquad/Lily’s Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/LilyAuthor/ LILY MORTON BOOKS*Amazon Affiliate Lily Morton | Amazon https://amzn.to/2nj0tTaFinding Home Series https://amzn.to/2lJYya0Oz https://amzn.to/2NXy2FJMilo https://amzn.to/2NP89YKGideon https://amzn.to/34DZWfNMixed Messages Series https://amzn.to/2mcvMzbDeal Maker https://amzn.to/34AqT4bRule Breaker https://amzn.to/2LJ4KrzRisk Taker https://amzn.to/2O4o45JBest Love https://amzn.to/2nUtKEdClose Proximity Series https://amzn.to/3rQojmnBest Man https://amzn.to/2Jurg7ACharlie Sunshine https://amzn.to/34TYnwbThe Black and Blue SeriesThe Mysterious and Amazing Blue Billings https://amzn.to/3o2h20cThe Summer of Us https://amzn.to/2I0z4x3OTHER AUTHORSSoulbound Series - Hailey Turner https://amzn.to/2XckKZDLucy Lennox | Amazon https://amzn.to/2mXXJuoKelly Fox | Amazon https://amzn.to/3aCYY6yMia Monroe | Amazon https://amzn.to/30WHqzvNeve Wilder | Amazon https://amzn.to/2OIzMmBLane Hayes | Amazon https://amzn.to/2LclBqgBOOKS by SLADE JAMESThe Uncut Wood (A Bear Camp Short) http://getbook.at/UncutWoodGrumpy Bear (A Bear Camp Novel) http://getbook.at/GrumpyBearSUBSCRIBEApple (iOS)| Spotify| Stitcher (Android)Are you new to podcasts?How to subscribe to my podcast— freeHOST LINKSSlade James sladejames.comMM Author Podcast gayromance.show SUPPORT THE SHOWPatreon patreon.com/sladejames

I’m speaking with Mia Monroe, an LGBTQ+ romance author whose style is best described as emotional, kinky, and wildly imaginative. She believes love is for everyone.Mia is the creator of the new bestselling series Tattoos and Temptation. The first two books in that series, Marry Me and Fix Me are both currently on the charts with a third book, Free Me coming out next month.Mia Monroe is a newer author to many of us, and I was fortunate to catch her right as she’s emerging on everybody’s radar. We talk about how she went from creative burnout only a few months ago to trusting her instincts and using an alpha reader collaboration to speed up her writing process … All of it leading to a major creative breakthrough and newfound success.For those of you who are also up and coming, or future authors, her story is especially inspiring. And as always, it’s cool to hear an author talk about her process and the ideas behind her books.LINKS*Amazon Affiliatehttp://miamonroeauthor.comMia Monroe | Amazon https://amzn.to/30WHqzvMia’s MM Maniacs (Facebook Group) https://www.facebook.com/groups/MiasMMManiacsBOOKS by MIA MONROEDeviate (Love in the City Book 1) — Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/344ErXDDamage (Love in the City Book 2) — Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/3kRxz68The Secrets We Keep — Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/31Yy3yIMarry Me: Tattoos and Temptation Book 1 — Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/2PSpvDXFix Me: Tattoos and Temptation Book 2 — Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/2Q8sHeRFree Me: Tattoos and Temptation Book 3— Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/2Q1Jq33OTHER AUTHORS MENTIONED65 Hours — N.R.
