  • What about Dark Romance?
    Sep 30 2025

    I've been reading dark romances before I found out it was an actual legitimate categorisation of romance novels. Some dark romances are very dark indeed. I talk about that in this episode.

    I'm an author of 2 women's fiction novels; After the Hurt and Caught Out. Both are available to purchase from the usual book shops.
