Gay Romance Show - MM Author Podcast: Recent Episodes
Slade James
The MM author podcast where we get to hear from the creators of our favorite LGBTQ fiction and their collaborators.
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.

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.

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.

I interviewed Kelly Fox at the start of the year, January 2020, when she made a goal to write and rapid release three books in a new series.
Ep 14 - Introducing Kelly Fox
She’s back to give us an update!
I interview a lot of more established authors on this show, but I also want to discover up and coming new talent for those of you who are readers.
And for those of you who are also new authors, I thought it would be cool to track the career of someone just starting to grow her author business.
Kelly Fox is a corporate training manager by day and author of contemporary gay romance by night. She curses too much, drinks exactly the right amount of red wine, and sleeps way too little. She's also lucky enough to live in Central Texas with her wife and three dogs, where the astonishing diversity of humans and landscapes and tattoo shops serve as her muse.

Kirt Graves is an audiobook narrator most known for his work in the MM Romance genre. His first audiobook (TJ Klune's Wolfsong) was featured as one of Audible's Five-Star Faves in November 2016. In addition to his work as an audiobook narrator, Kirt is a graphic artist, a podcast host, and an award-winning speech coach. He lives with his husband in Wisconsin and spends too many hours each week listening to political podcasts and watching cooking tutorials on YouTube.
Kirt and I talk about everything from the creative process, to the technology involved, to the importance of having authentic gay characters and voices in media.
If you’re a fan of audiobooks, this is a peek into the studio, behind the words ...
If you’re an author considering transitioning into audio, this is also a frank discussion of the cost of production that Kirt shares with prospective clients.

Neve Wilder is an author who writes the same way she reads: promiscuously, across multiple genres. Her favorite stories always contain an element of romance. Incidentally, this is also what she likes to write most of all. Slow-burners with delicious tension? Yes. Whiplash-inducing page-turners, also yes. And every flavor in between.
