Aleatha discusses her writing process, the themes of her works, particularly in her new football sports romance Cooper series, and the importance of writing books outside the cookie-cutter formulas.

I sat down with romance audiobook narrator Tor Tom to talk about how he got into narration, what it’s really like working inside the romance genre, and why the job is far less glamorous—and far more technical—than many listeners might assume. We also talked about fandom, book conventions, duet recording, trigger lists, and the unexpected cultural afterlife of Heated Rivalry.
