Warning: This episode may cause sudden urges to buy wine, a vibrator, and a ticket to the nearest small town.
We’re getting down with Stephanie Napolitano author of Fall from Grace and baby, it’s not just the characters who are getting emotionally wrecked and absolutely railed. We talk missionary magic, pool table filth (yes, that scene), and why dirty talk is a love language. Stephanie spills on writing while her life was falling apart, letting her characters finish inside (and out), and why there’s zero room for shame in a steamy love story.
Come for the trauma. Stay for the trench coat. You’ve been warned.
FYI...
We get into:
🍑 Writing missionary like it’s a spiritual experience
💦 Dirty talk vs. primal groans (why not both?)
👨👧 The hot bartender single dad we’d let ruin us
🛁 The bathtub scene that’ll have your Kindle fogging up
🫠 Healing through heartbreak, fiction, and filth
🫣 The line Stephanie wrote that her family definitely read (oops)
🍷 Real talk on postpartum, divorce, and rediscovering your power
Plus, the real reason you should never Google Grace Harrington.
