When you hear the term ‘romance novel', does it conjure up images of Fabio’s flying hair- or maybe some bodice ripping?
You can still find that between the covers of a romance novel, but there’s so much more.
You’re just as likely to read about a baseball diamond as a bodice in the new universe of romance fiction.

On this episode, local novelist Alicia Thompson, author of novels like ‘With Love from Cold World’, ‘The Art of Catching Feelings,’ ‘Love in a time of Serial Killers and others, and Steamy Lit bookstore owner and convention founder Melissa Saavedra talk about the growing audience for Romance fiction, breaking stereotypes and what keeps readers hooked on the genre.
