We're thrilled to share our next Trailblazer episode this week—we had a great time talking with Catherine Coulter about her place in romance history as one of the earliest authors of the Signet Regency line—and the author who many believe revolutionized the Regency…by making them sexy. She tells a million great stories here, and we talk about writing historical romance, about sex in romance, about the way she thinks about plot vs. story, about the way she's evolved as a writer, and about revisiting her old books. All that, and Catherine has a lot to say about heroes. Thank you to Catherine Coulter for making the time for us.Next week, we're back with more interstitials, but our first read along of 2023 is Tracy MacNish's Stealing Midnight—we've heard the calls from our gothic romance readers and we're delivering with this truly bananas story, in which the hero is dug out of a grave and delivered, barely alive, to the heroine. Get ready.

Douglas is a mean-ass, uh, spy? and lord of something or other.  Alex is the plainer sister of The Most Beautiful Woman in England but she's got some knockout knockers.  They throw chairs at each other and get kidnapped.  It's our sixty-ninth episode, The Sherbrooke Bride by Catherine Coulter! By the way, there's some discussion in this about whether a fancy Regency lady would pee in the woods on a long carriage ride - despite Google trying to autocomplete "how did travelling Regency women" with "use the litter box" (???) I did a little "research" and it seems she'd probably have used a bourdaloue, which is like a teacup for your tinkle, and not gotten kidnapped in the first place at all.  Here's a picture of one: The more you know!  Her maid would have had to deal with it, and of course this is one of those books that forgets about maids all the time.  Whatever.  That's not the biggest historical issue with this book and I don't know why it bothered us so much, compared to the ghost who gives GPS directions and weather reports. There's some pretty upsetting content in this book, including but not limited to the truly grotesque (but not graphic) sexual assault of a side character, a graphic (but not grotesque) miscarriage that's actually dealt with in a serious way, some "light ravishing" on the part of the main character and a major secondary character - there's a lot of crying during sex in this one.  There's also a ghost!  Napoleon! Proxy marriages that are also stealth trick marriages!  Magical boobs!  It's a lot!  Happy Episode 69 to us!

Wowie kazowie there is a whole other part of Evening Star by Catherine Coulter where they go to New York and actually fall in love and have lots of pregnancy sex and lots of fights and Thanksgiving but way too early and bust a union and all cause like Women in Business! And man, that stuff really burrows into your grl's brains. Is erasure preferable to hero/ines who acknowledge the problems of their time but don't make act against it? Why do historical romances, especially from the late 19th Century, feel so much hornier? When was the last time your adult body felt worshipped? Does this book punch through the membrane of genre?

This week your girls disembark on a two parter on Catherine Coulter's EVENING STAR aka SWEET SURRENDER. We delve into the kinky, sweaty bordellos and just sweaty dinner parties of 19th Century Rome where young Giana is getting a pretty shallow lesson in womanhood from her uncle and meets an American, i.e. tall, businessman who is equal parts well-meaning and ruthlessly horny. I & M answer the questions Coulter has posed to her erstwhile reader and discover some Rome Truths along the way. Why start with shock? Can we girlboss our way out of ideology? Does anyone have good intentions or are we just negotiating different ways to live with our selfish choices? Sidle up to the velvet curtain and behold the one-way mirror to our conversation, we promise we don't mind if you listen. ;) Whoa!mance is a part of the Frolic Podcast Network

There are few things better for a romance reader than a well-written regency, and Coulter definitely gives us that. The Sherbrooke Bride by Catherine Coulter is a wonderful introduction to a regency series about a strong family, with the tale of straight-laced and sensible Douglas and his rebellious young bride, Alexandra. Oh, and we found our mojo, so expect some sass.

Episode 86 features an interview with international bestselling author Catherine Coulter, about one of her most recent titles, Insidious.   In the interview, Mark and Catherine talk about: The question Catherine's sister asked her at a family reunion back in the 1990's that inspired the her first romantic suspense novel, The Cove (which became the first book in her FBI series) The devious nature involved by the author when writing in a series where each book can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone novel The reason why, when most books in the series are set about 2 weeks apart from one another, there's a 5-year time-lag between Books 2 and Books 3 in the series The benefits of moving between writing different types of genres as really great exercises for the brain The cross-over in Catherine's fan base who read both Historical Romance and Romantic Suspense As a self-confessed “pantser” the fact that about 98% of Catherine's writing is discovery and the backward-building that she does in the re-writing How her husband is her first editor Catherine's preference for writing dialogue over setting descriptions (as well as her penchant for humor) How it is a wonderful time to be a writer and Catherine's favorite advice for beginning writers   After the interview, Mark gives a bit of an update on Kobo Plus   Links of interest Catherine Coulter's Website Catherine Coulter on Facebook Catherine Coulter's Books on Kobo KWL's Instagram Account

Perfect for readers of Iris Johansen and Catherine Coulter.   TERROR STRIKES AN ICONIC CHURCH—AND BRINGS A CITY TO ITS KNEES.   In the hushed quiet of early morning Manhattan, in front of the towering bronze doors of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, a young woman holds a sign that reads: HELP ME. For one FBI agent, a madman’s terrified hostages, and an entire city, a long and harrowing day is about to unfold.

Scotland Yard’s new chief inspector Nicholas Drummond is on the first flight to New York when he learns his colleague, Elaine York, the "minder" of the Crown Jewels for the "Jewel of the Lion" exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was found murdered. Then the centerpiece of the exhibit, the infamous Koh-i-Noor Diamond, is stolen from the Queen Mother’s crown. Drummond, American-born but raised in the UK, is a dark, dangerous, fast-rising star in the Yard who never backs down. And this case is no exception. Special Agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich from Coulter’s best-selling FBI series don’t hesitate to help Drummond find the cunning international thief known as the Fox. Nonstop action and high stakes intensify as the chase gets deadly. The Fox will stop at nothing to deliver the Koh-i-Noor to the man who believes in its deadly prophecy. Nicholas Drummond, along with his partner, FBI Special Agent Mike Caine, lay it on the line to retrieve the diamond for Queen and country.
