Welcome to Episode 18 of the Stories to Love PodcastHello everyone and happy New Year’s Eve! I had a few minutes and am in between deadlines and wanted to air this special episode with Gail D. Villanueva. Gail is a middle grade author and we talk about her menagerie of pets, superstition in books, respecting the middle grade reader, hope and consent in her books. In addition, I wanted to highlight the Kidlit for Luzon Campaign, which is helping aid the typhoon ravaged areas of the Philippines. This is a wonderful campaign in which those who contribute get the benefit of redeeming gifts from patrons such as myself for writerly services like critiques or books and book items. In this time of covid, when everyone is pushed in sometimes trying ways, it’s always good remember that there are others who need our help. In these covid-times, when everyone is pushed in sometimes trying ways, it’s always good remember that there are others who need our help.

This week we’re thrilled to welcome New York Times-bestselling romance novelist Sarah MacLean, whose artistry and activism are helping to push the genre in exciting new directions. Her latest book, Brazen and the Beast (“Bareknuckle Bastards” series, book two), is the story of Henrietta “Hattie” Sedley, a voluptuous, business-savvy, Victorian-era noblewoman with ambitious plans to claim her due in business and in pleasure. Sarah and Megan talk body positivity, women’s empowerment, genre-specific vocabulary, and more. Then our editors offer reading recommendations for the week, including books by Gail D. Villanueva, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz (adapted by Jean Mendoza, Debbie Reese), and Elizabeth Gilbert.
