Show Notes

My guest this week is Kirsty Greenwood, whose new book Romantic Hero is out now everywhere, all over the world.

Kirsty writes what she calls “speculative romantic comedy,” and I really loved her first book, Love of my Afterlife.

We discuss SHOCKING topics like deleting the first book she tried to write, the character journeys in Romantic Hero, dealing with writer’s block, and punching people in the face.
