Jeff and I both recommend two industry books: Storyteller: How to Be an Audio Book Narrator by Lorelei King and Ali Muirden and Novel Idea to Podcast: How to Sell More Books Through Podcasting by Paul Sating. I also discuss Paperback Crush: The Totally Radical History of ’80s and ’90s Teen Fiction by Gabrielle Moss.

Books reviews this week include Dev Bentham’s Temporary Dad (part of the Bad Valentine series), Layla Reyne’s Noble Hops and Jay Northcote’s Starting from Scratch (which I loved so very, very much). And because there can never be enough Valentine’s books, there’s a special bonus episode with reviews of the Bad Valentine stories: Hidden Hearts by Clare London, Love Magic by Jesi Lea Ryan and Quill Me Now by Jordan Castillo Price.

Jeff interviews Jay Northcote about his upcoming book Better Place, which is book three in the Rainbow Place series. Jay also talks about his first book featuring a trans character, Starting from Scratch, as well as how he got started writing, what his process is and about what’s coming next.
