The MM author podcast where we get to hear from the creators of our favorite LGBTQ fiction and their collaborators.
This week I’m speaking with Charlie Novak, author of the queer romance series Off the Pitch and Roll for Love, as well as the standalone Strawberry Kisses.We chat about how Charlie went from writing Supernatural fan fiction, to what she describes as "British fluff." We do a nerdy deep dive into her creative process, and, for the authors in the audience, we also discuss impostor syndrome and the value of having author friends.LINKS*Amazon AffiliateCharlieNovak.com https://charlienovak.com/Charlie Novak | Amazon https://amzn.to/3txGIViCharlie Novak | Facebook https://www.facebook.com/charlie.novak.7712Charlie's Angels https://www.facebook.com/groups/1287247458080320 BOOKS by CHARLIE NOVAKOff the Pitch series https://amzn.to/3drq6sHBreakaway https://amzn.to/3eeK9tsExtra Time https://amzn.to/2QsNA7LFinal Score https://amzn.to/3wZhS2VOff the Pitch: The Complete Collection https://amzn.to/3trkwfqStrawberry Kisses https://amzn.to/3gjT7bFRoll for Love series https://amzn.to/3sr4XmNNatural Twenty https://amzn.to/2RL5W4zCharisma Check https://amzn.to/3x5FlzqProficiency Bonus https://amzn.to/2RJXYJ1OTHER AUTHORS MENTIONEDLily Morton | Amazon https://amzn.to/2nj0tTaToby Wise | Amazon https://amzn.to/2QsMjgZCarly Marie | Amazon https://amzn.to/3drrtaPLane Hayes | Amazon https://amzn.to/2QyVdtcBOOKS by SLADE JAMESBear Camp SeriesThe Uncut Wood (A Bear Camp Short) https://amzn.to/2OT2ao8Grumpy Bear (A Bear Camp Novel) https://amzn.to/2OS0taCSUBSCRIBEApple (iOS) | Spotify | Stitcher (Android)Are you new to podcasts?How to subscribe to my podcast — freeHOST LINKSSlade James sladejames.comMM Author Podcast gayromance.show SUPPORT THE SHOWPatreon patreon.com/sladejames

I’m speaking with Mia Monroe, an LGBTQ+ romance author whose style is best described as emotional, kinky, and wildly imaginative. She believes love is for everyone.Mia is the creator of the new bestselling series Tattoos and Temptation. The first two books in that series, Marry Me and Fix Me are both currently on the charts with a third book, Free Me coming out next month.Mia Monroe is a newer author to many of us, and I was fortunate to catch her right as she’s emerging on everybody’s radar. We talk about how she went from creative burnout only a few months ago to trusting her instincts and using an alpha reader collaboration to speed up her writing process … All of it leading to a major creative breakthrough and newfound success.For those of you who are also up and coming, or future authors, her story is especially inspiring. And as always, it’s cool to hear an author talk about her process and the ideas behind her books.LINKS*Amazon Affiliatehttp://miamonroeauthor.comMia Monroe | Amazon https://amzn.to/30WHqzvMia’s MM Maniacs (Facebook Group) https://www.facebook.com/groups/MiasMMManiacsBOOKS by MIA MONROEDeviate (Love in the City Book 1) — Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/344ErXDDamage (Love in the City Book 2) — Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/3kRxz68The Secrets We Keep — Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/31Yy3yIMarry Me: Tattoos and Temptation Book 1 — Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/2PSpvDXFix Me: Tattoos and Temptation Book 2 — Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/2Q8sHeRFree Me: Tattoos and Temptation Book 3— Mia Monroe https://amzn.to/2Q1Jq33OTHER AUTHORS MENTIONED65 Hours — N.R.
