Hello Rebel Readers,
October is here, and while most of us are leaning into spooky season, our guest this week takes dark romance to haunting new heights.
Author Melody Joanne is a Canadian author of dark romantasy whose stories are equal parts chaos, humor, and heart. Her bold, unhinged heroines and dangerously irresistible love interests redefine what it means to fall for the dark side.
In this episode, we dive into her latest novel, where one woman’s world unravels after she starts seeing ghosts and reconnects with her powerful ex from a past life. Expect supernatural mayhem, cosmic love, and one hilariously self-aware heroine who’s definitely not fine.
Cheryl and Melody also share a heartfelt chat about motherhood, balancing creative chaos and surviving a PhD! Along the way, they bond over their shared love of smut, dark romance, and their biggest inspirations—their moms.
It’s an episode full of laughter, honesty, and hauntingly beautiful storytelling. If you love morally gray men, strong FMCs, and conversations that blur the line between dark and delightful—this one’s for you.
Enjoy and Happy Reading!
