Episode 380 – Emma Alcott and the “Masters of Romance”
Jeff & Will welcome contemporary romance author Emma Alcott, who also writes paranormal romance as Piper Scott. We start off talking about her writing history, including when Piper Scott was a trio of authors working together and what led her to taking that name over. She also discusses why she created Emma Alcott and the kinds of contemporary stories she writes for that pen name, including the Masters of Romance series, which features Bad Boy, a previous Big Gay Fiction Book Club selection. Of course, we find out what’s coming up for both Emma and Piper, and we get a book recommendation too.

Episode 378 – Lily Morton Brings the Scares with “The Sceptic”
Jeff & Will welcome author Lily Morton to talk about her new book The Sceptic, which begins the Arcana Books series. The new series is a spin-off from the Black and Blue series, which Lily explains is a series that almost never got published as she was hesitant to move into paranormal after writing several popular contemporaries. We also hear from Lily about the research trips she takes with her husband, where her character’s snarky banter comes from, and she’s got a book recommendation too.
