Episode 9 | Echoes through History: The Real History Behind His Boss’s Little Sister
Every story begins with truth. In this Echoes through History episode, I uncover the real events that inspired my novella His Boss’s Little Sister. Set in 1931 Wisconsin, the book grew out of research into Depression-era economics, dairy politics, and the unexpected crime of margarine smuggling. These fragments of real history shaped the world, tone, and tension that bring the story to life. Join me as we look at how fact becomes fiction—and how a little butter war helped build a fairytale. ✨ Read the show notes and join my Fireside News at: https://daniellegrandinetti.com/post/episode-9-the-real-history-behind-his-bosss-little-sister/

Episode 8 | Behind the Book: A Heart to Treasure with Dienece Darling
In this Behind the Book episode, I’m joined by author Dienece Darling to talk about her Broader Regency novella, A Heart to Treasure. The vicar’s son and the draper’s daughter have fought against all odds to be together—but when a storm of pride and doubt threatens their love, they must rediscover what it means to trust God and each other. We explore Dienece’s inspiration for writing beyond the ballroom, crafting stories of faith and honesty, and imagining the world of Jane Austen’s youth—England at the cusp of change, where class and conviction collide. ✨ Read the show notes and join my Fireside News at: https://daniellegrandinetti.com/post/episode-8-a-heart-to-treasure-dienece-darling
