We spoke about Mills & Boon last week and now we're onto Harlequin. While we go through the history of Harlequin, we continue with the lens of how gatekeepers influence the romance genre. While writing this script, I was influenced by John Markert's book Publishing Romance where he argues that gatekeepers often use their own tastes as a barometer for what readers want. Markert argues another driver for gatekeepers is what they perceive market conditions to be. This often results in gatekeepers acting conservatively as they try and find a product that is similar to yet slightly different from what's on the market. We talk about a few editors again and how they influenced their authors, Vivian Stephens and her time at Harlequin, how heroines having jobs has been editorial policy since the 80s, and how mass market paperbacks will be dramatically scaled down in the upcoming year.Support us on our Patreon!Visit our website for transcripts and show notes: reformedrakes.comFollow us on social media:Twitter: @reformedrakesInstagram: @reformedrakesBluesky: @reformedrakesBeth's SubstackChels' SubstackEmma's SubstackThank you for listening!

Over the last couple of years, he has changed gears and returned to the genre that first made him an avid reader: horror. JH has been cranking out horror novels and finding a great deal of success with them. We catch up with James and discuss his transition to horror and what that has been like after writing five previous historical fiction novels.  His most recent release that came out in September, Spider to the Fly, is dark horror suspense that deals with a serial killer, a true crime influencer, and a family with some bizarre dynamics.    And for our book rec section, we are talking about notable nonfiction. These are nonfiction books we've read in the last year that have made us think differently about a topic or stood out for us in some way (even though these books might not have been published in the last year). We'll talk about a micro-history, a biography, a true crime, a memoir, a study of morality and politics, and a niche book about cussing.    Books Mentioned In This Episode:   1- Spider to the Fly by J.H. Markert  2- Molokai by Alan Brennert 3- A White Wind Blew by James Markert 4- Nightmare Man by J.H. Markert  5- Mr. Lullaby by J. H. Markert 6- Sleep Tight by J.H.

Hey Book Lovers,   Carrie and I are on fall hiatus this week so we don't have a new episode for you.  But what we do have is your chance to check out a new-to-you book podcast, Books with Betsy, hosted by Betsy Tomsak. This past summer we were guests to the show where we talked about all things in our book lives, maybe even tidbits we have never shared on our own show.  It's a fun conversation and we hope you will listen in and give Books With Betsy a follow. We will be  back with an all new episode on October 29 when we chat with horror/ thriller writer J.H. Markert about his new release, Spider to the Fly, and give you book recommendations for notable non-fiction we've read recently.   We hope you enjoy this episode of Books With Betsy. Happy Reading!  

Otto von Bismarck gilt als die Überfigur des 19. Jahrhunderts und des Deutschen Kaiserreichs. Und obwohl das Deutsche Reich ein Kaiserreich war, steht dessen Namensgeber Kaiser Wilhelm I. im tiefen historischen Schatten des „Eisernen Kanzlers“. Wilhelm, so die gängige Erzählung, sei ein schwacher Monarch gewesen, nicht mehr als eine Symbolfigur für das neue Reich, während Bismarck als dessen eigentlicher Architekt gilt. Zu dieser Wahrnehmung trug – vermeintlich – nicht zuletzt der Kaiser selbst selbst bei: Soll er doch geäußert haben, es sei nicht leicht, unter Bismarck Kaiser zu sein. Doch entspricht dieses Bild der historischen Realität? Neue Forschungen werfen Zweifel auf. Der Historiker Dr. Jan Markert hat den bislang weitgehend unerschlossenen Nachlass Wilhelms I. ausgewertet und zeichnet das Bild eines Kaisers, der weit mehr war als nur ein Statist der Geschichte. Wir haben mit ihm gesprochen. Den Originalbeitrag und mehr finden Sie bitte hier: https://lisa.gerda-henkel-stiftung.de/lisa_am_telefon_markert_wilhelm_bismarck_kaiserreich

From communist atheist to global missionary—Fred Markert's journey is nothing short of miraculous. In this gripping episode, Fred shares his dramatic transformation from a disillusioned young man in Berlin—steeped in communism, addiction, and hopelessness—to a man set ablaze by the fire of God's love for the nations. Raised in the Catholic Church but shaken by academic skepticism, Fred lost his faith and plunged into a life of rebellion during the Vietnam War era. Facing jail time, betrayal, and rock bottom, his life was intercepted by divine mercy through an encounter with a member of Youth With A Mission (YWAM). In a moment of supernatural clarity, Fred surrendered everything—his dreams, his identity, even his ambition to become a doctor—and chose to follow Jesus into the unknown. But Fred's surrender was just the beginning. Within days, he found himself smuggling Christian calendars into communist East Germany, risking imprisonment to plant seeds of truth where the Gospel had been silenced. That bold act sparked a lifetime mission to reach the 3.4 billion souls still untouched by the message of Christ. With passion and urgency, Fred unpacks the heartbeat of true missions—not duty, not guilt, but a deep ache in God's heart for the unreached. He shares stories of miraculous breakthroughs and horrific martyrs in places like Northern India and persecuted regions in the Middle East. This episode is more than a testimony—it's a call to spiritual arms. Fred exposes the idols of comfort, digital distraction, and Western individualism, and invites us into the risky, unpredictable life of living fully for the Kingdom. Whether you're questioning your purpose or just hungry for more of God's love, this conversation will shake your soul and stir your calling. *This episode was recorded on April 8, 2025.
