In August, I planned a Booze + Books Chat with the amazing romance author Melonie Johnson and Fresh Fiction’s Danielle Dresser. Hosted by Love’s Sweet Arrow, the awesome Chicago-based and romance-focused bookstore, we drank to the joy of romance books and talked about how what we write celebrates an adult’s right to have a good time.
We personally had such a good time that we’ve decided to do it once a month! Join me, Melonie, and Danielle — the Boozy Book Broads — and Love’s Sweet Arrow online every third Friday of the month at 7 p.m. CT as we toast the joy of romance books and romance writing with our author and industry friends. With a drink-of-the-month in hand!!
Our first guest was Rosie Danan, whose debut book, The Roommate, won the 2019 Romance Writers of America® Golden Heart® for Best Contemporary Romance and has already been optioned for a movie. We discussed roomie horror stories and feminine pleasure — and toasted with a Rosh Hashanah sangria!
On Oct. 16, we’ll be hosting Diana Biller, author of The Widow of Rose House, and on Nov. 20, we’ll be chatting with multi-published author Jackie Lau about her Thanksgiving book, A Match Made for Thanksgiving.
