   Wild In Love: Author Interview w/Nicole Cubba

   This week, Emma and Jeff chat with romance author Nicole Cubba about her latest, Wild In Love, an Instant USA Today Bestseller. But here's the thing: Cubba isn't only an excellent romance author; she's also a marine geneticist with a background in marine biology, environmental biology, and zoology. So, naturally, subjects like sharks come up, but so do capybaras and, eventually, cassowaries. BUT, we also talk about how Cubba balances two lives, one in science and nature, the other in plot and character development, AND how/when the science part can weave into the romance part! Wild In Love is out now, and a new novel, Lost In Love, will be out in December. Cubba is based in Massachusetts and writes romance novels full of humor and relatable characters, which she refers to as 'STEM adventures,' which began with 2025's Deep In Love.

   Leslie Priscilla Discusses 'Chancla' & Latinx Parenting

   This week, one of our youth librarians interviews Leslie Priscilla, an educator, advocate, and founder of Latinx Parenting, discussing her new book, 'Chancla: Healing Our Families, Ourselves, and Our Culture Through Nonviolent Parenting,' which came out last month. We also talk about how this book is available to borrow from our library's Parent/Teacher section, located in our Youth Area for parents/caregivers. Priscilla is a certified parent coach, family life educator, and the founder of Latinx Parenting, a bilingual organization and movement dedicated to children's rights, intergenerational healing, and ending corporal punishment in Latine families.
