Join host Andie James each month as she talks with other Historical Romance authors and enthusiasts about the genre we know and love.

Second Wednesday of each month: These episodes are an interview with an Indie Historical Romance author discussing topics related to the genre, and hopefully helping you discover a new author to love!

Fourth Wednesday of each month: These episodes are a deep dive in to a Historical Romance Standard* Andie has never read. Andie will discuss the book with a fellow HistRom enthusiast who knows and loves the book.

Andie will read books from three different categories:

• HR Classics—The books that built and are foundational to the genre from the 80’s and 90’s. Includes authors such as Judith McNaught, Julie Garwood, Beverly Jenkins, Lisa Kleypas, Judith ivory, Laura Kinsale

• New Classics—Books that are from beloved authors (mothers of the genre) in the 21st century, many of whom are still writing now, such as Sarah MacLean, Sherry Thomas, Joanna Shupe, Courtney Milan, Elizabeth Hoyt, Loretta Chase, Lorraine Heath, Tessa Dare

• Defining Classics—These books may be recent, but are important because of the way they push the boundaries of what HR can be in terms of representation and location. Includes books by authors such as Adriana Herrera, Liana De la Rosa, TJ Alexander, KJ Charles, Joanna Lowell
