Join hosts Jenn, Carissa, Krystle, and Angela as they break down the vibes of a story arc—specifically a romance arc—and how the beats of it can change depending on the focus of your story. Fantasy slides into romance, and vice versa, so what's an arc, anyway?

What ARE tropes, anyway? Join hosts Carissa, Jenn, Krystle, and Angela as they explain the bare-bones definition of tropes in fiction, as well as examine how these tools can help build tension.

Join hosts Angela Boord, Carissa Broadbent, JD Evans, and Krystle Matar as we try to navigate the messy Venn diagram that is how we overlap in the world of Romantic Fantasy. Angela makes us feel old with a joke about Reece's Peanut Butter Cups while we figure out what comes first: the fantasy, or the romance? Or is it both?! No matter what, we had a lot of fun and we're doing our best to break it down into the best recipes for a great story!

Who are we? What are we here to talk about?

Join hosts Angela Boord, Carissa Broadbent, JD Evans, and Krystle Matar as they try to explain how they got themselves into a podcast, why they write smooching, and why you should know about Romantic Fantasy! We laugh, we feel old (thanks Carissa) and we generally enjoy the vibe of talking about the things we love most: Books That Bang™
