Joining me this week is an avid reader I met in these tweets, Maya. She and I discuss Incognito, a Francis Ray novel, that was adapted for a made-for-television film. We not only discuss the movie, but the casting, the importance of a dark skinned lead, and other general thoughts about seeing this sort of content on television in modern times. I tried to put Maya on the spot by asking what adaptations she'd like to see and she turned the tables on me! Listen to hear how that all went down, haha!

Join us as we discuss how impactful seeing these films were on us, the brilliance of the casting, bits and pieces of the plot, & then I put Jaleesa on the spot as I ask for some of her dream adaptations.

In a series of podcast episodes that get to the heart of the authors whose works drew me to romance in particular, I've rounded up some friends to come along for the ride and discuss these authors, their works, and how they influence(d)/impact(ed). I would be remiss if I didn't talk about one of the most ever-present, influential published authors out there, one Mrs. Brenda Jackson. For this episode I tapped my girl who is one of the biggest B.Jack fans I know, author Kema B., so we could discuss the book that started it all for Mrs. Jackson - Tonight and Forever. But if you know anything about me, or this podcast, then you know that we meandered into discussing her work on a broader scale as well as our thoughts/opinions about other things in the reading community. It's a great convo and I'm glad Kema came on and chopped it up with me.

One of the first names on my list was Eric Jerome Dickey and I knew that I couldn't discuss him with no one other than my girl CCJ. Christina and mine's conversation begins loosely guided by Friends and Lovers x EJD, but we meander into a bevy of other subjects. It's a long ride, but it's worth every second of the journey in my less than humble opinion, ha! Enjoy!
