   Bookshop Interview with Author Romina Garber, Episode #285

   Author Romina Garber discusses her Wolves of No World duology. Originally published as Lobizona and Cazadora, this contemporary YA fantasy series is now available in a beautiful new two-in-one collector's edition. The story follows Manuela, an undocumented immigrant living in hiding in Miami, Florida while trying to stay one step ahead of her father's Argentine crime family. When her mother is arrested by ICE, Manu is suddenly left on her own. Her search for answers leads her into a hidden world drawn from the Argentinian folklore of her childhood—a realm filled with witches, werewolves, and forbidden magic. In this episode, Romina shares her writing journey, discusses the real-world harm caused by labeling people as "illegal," and reflects on a powerful idea at the heart of storytelling: nonfiction may deal in facts, but fiction deals in truth.

   Bookshop Interview with Author Francesca Frost, Episode #284

   Author Francesca Frost discusses her debut novel, The Crypto King's Muse. This suspenseful enemies-to-lovers workplace romance spans Manhattan, the Cayman Islands, and Davos, following Charlotte, a once-successful fashion entrepreneur who finds herself navigating the high-stakes world of cryptocurrency while becoming dangerously entangled with an enigmatic fintech CEO. After a lifetime of reading other people's stories, Francesca decided it was finally time to write her own. Along the way, she learned the conventions of romance writing and challenged her own natural pessimism to embrace the genre's promise of a happily-ever-after. In this episode, Francesca shares her journey to publication, explains how the 2022 FTX crypto exchange collapse reshaped early drafts of The Crypto King's Muse, and discusses why she believes romantic fiction is a form of emotional technology that can help all of us.
