740. A Study in Sparkling with Jodi McAlister

By listener request! My guest today is author and professor Jodi McAlister. You might remember Jodi from her appearance in episode 626 when we talked about her Marry Me Juliet trilogy, set within a fictional version of The Bachelor. Now she’s in the middle of a new trilogy she’s calling Love Notes, and we’re going to discuss the latest book, A Study in Sparkling. We’re going to discuss learning a TON about wine, and about writing romance set within the terrifying world of academia. Then I come to find out she’s done recent published research on erotic audio dramas, and about the bonkbusters of the 80s. Special thanks to Josephine for requesting this interview and asking such thoughtful questions! ❤ Read the transcript ❤ ↓ Press Play https://open.acast.com/public/streams/62a7849004bdd200117465f3/episodes/6acd40c539599f7c56ea9ce0.mp3This podcast player may not work on Chrome and a different browser is suggested.
