Episode one ninety three - part one Jenn sat down with Maya Rodale, author of THE MAD GIRLS OF NEW YORK, a lively and entertaining fictionalized account of the career of Nelly Bly. Bly, as an undercover reporter, spent ten days committed to Blackwell's, a notoriously cruel and oppressive asylum, to expose the truth to the public.

Maya Rodale, best-selling and award-winning author of funny, feminist historical fiction and romance. Her latest novel is Mad Girls of New York (Berkley). This week's Write the Book Prompt was suggested by my guest, Maya Rodale, who said it was inspired by our conversation. Take this scenario and write it forward:  She was in a rush to get downtown–the sooner the better and definitely before it was too late. But when she turned onto Broadway, what she saw shocked her. She would not be getting downtown any time soon … Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion. Music Credit: Aaron Shapiro

Author Maya Rodale discusses her latest novel, "The Mad Girls of New York." We nerd out about Nellie Bly, discuss the true story behind Maya's novel and much more!  Be sure to check out our shop on Bookshop.org to be able to help support independent bookstores and this podcast. You can find  "The Mad Girls of New York" under 'Featured Books' and our April title, "The Cartographers" by Peng Shepherd in our 'Book of the Month' shop.

Maya Rodale is a romance author but this book is a big departure from her usual fare and could generously be called flirtation adjacent. Don't let that put you off, however, because it's a very good book if you like pulpy books about the Gilded Age (and we do).

Today I am chatting with Maya Rodale. Maya is well known for her historical romances, however, her new novel is a Historical Fiction novel about journalist Nelly Bly. In this interview, we talked about writing in the Gilded Age, Maya's upcoming work, and more important who is Nelly Bly.SHOWNOTES AND BOOK LINKShttp://WhattoReadNextBlog.comMusic from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/hartzmann/sunnyLicense code: 0RDRBKGH6NGQCAXR

Tyler Henry, the talented medium who speaks to dead people fills notebooks with scribbles. It helps him connect. Hundreds of years ago a young reported named Nelly Bly was famous for connecting to her readers by putting herself in the position to report on unseen corners of her world. If you haven't already heard the raw tape of my fangirling all over Tyler, I share it here again...with new audio from historical romance writer Maya Rodale and her latest Nelly Bly story. Thanks for listening.

Thank you, Rachel, for helping me launch my career. Woohoo! I met Rachel several years ago post-college. I was networking my butt off and I don't even remember how, but I think I cold-LinkedIn messaged her. I agreed to meet up with her for a mentorship meet-and-greet coffee with her and other young women wanting to network. That morning, thank goodness was a good day for me. She saw my fire and really helped me land a big girl internship as a Copywriter.    Rachel continued to mentor me for a few years. What I really adore about Rachel is her mission is so clear—empowering women in ANY kind of business or venture. After every conversation, I left with high spirits and a fire under my butt.    Any women or anyone at all who wants to network with one of the big shots of Orange County, I urge you to connect with Rachel. Don't be shy!   Rachel is unstoppable.  Throughout Svoboda's extensive 20-year career in advertising, she has led prestigious advertising teams at Amusement Park (formerly DGWB), Phelps, and Saatchi & Saatchi, Los Angeles. She is currently CEO at Sunday Brunch Agency. Rachel is a single mother of two and lives in Huntington Beach.   Rachel is also the CEO and Founder of Lynxx bourbon; a bourbon that celebrates female empowerment. She noticed a huge gap in the whiskey market, and noticed that women turn to wine after a long day. Of course Rachel being Rachel, she wanted to change that.    This year, Rachel was elected as a Board of Director at Working Wardrobes and joined the Advisory Board for Girls Inc. Rachel recently launched a streaming video series called, The Brunch Club, where we raise a glass and champion female talent and leadership everywhere. Rachel was named Women of the year by The National Association of Professional Women.

Our heart was ripped out in Maya Rodale’s “What a Wallflower Wants” and “The Bad Boy Billionaire’s What a Girl Wants” novella!Prude Prudence was not a prude so much as being protective of herself and her compromising secret!  Another secret Pru kept was her intended marriage to someone who she knows she’ll be safe with and who won’t touch her.  That plan was squashed and she found herself alone and walking to some village in Wiltshire.Then along came a carriage with white horses.  We meet Castleton who loves damsels in distress, but Pru was determined to walk.  When she gets to the inn in town, heavy rains mean forced proximity.Castleton turned out to be an understanding man with a good character.  His experience helped Pru to heal a little at a time from the trauma she never told anyone or said out loud.“Castleton,” aka John Roark, had his own secret and he was determined to fulfill his promises.  He deceived Pru, but with the best intentions!We all have our secrets.  Sometimes it takes one person, a certain friend, or even a stranger to help us through something we want to heal and grow from.  Join us as we discuss how the least likely to be caught in a compromising position found herself finding the special person who she was comfortable being in a compromising position with!

It’s time to loosen up in Maya Rodale’s “Wallflower Gone Wild” and “The Bady Boy Billionaire’s Girl Gone Wild” novella!Lady Olivia Archer locked eyes with a handsome stranger, only to be who her parents chose as her betrothed.  Phinn, the Mad Baron, was not a prospect she wanted because of the rumors attached to him.The Mad Baron apparently had a big heart and was very sweet towards Olivia.  He took care of her through the scandalous situations that friends had created.  He even became her unknown rescuer when it really mattered.Although Olivia and Phinn’s friends had good intentions for their coupling, Olivia’s parents didn’t get the message that a couple meant only two people.  Her parents meddling was over the top and sometimes "cringy."  We wouldn’t want our own parents telling us Kama Sutra was not proper and we’re doing marriage wrong when we’ve always followed rules.It takes a good person and partner to help us through ordeals and tell us to “make our own rules, Angel,” so we could grow.  As long as communication continues to grow in a relationship, they could get through any mishap amongst the ton.  Join the ladies as they discuss how the least likely to cause a scandal got wild!Drawing Room Discussions –Friend of the Pod @BookstaKatieCheck out @buzzingaboutromance for the “Corset and Crowns Edition” linkKatie vacay with friendsWendy’s Mother’s Day callToni loving “Here With Me” by Samantha Young“OFFICIAL, UNOFFICIAL BOOK REVIEW”/LISTICLE – 4:34Featuring –Maya RodaleWallflower Gone WildThe Bad Boy Billionaire: Girl Gone Wild novellaBad Boys & Wallflowers serieswww.mayarodale.comwww.facebook.com/mayarodalewriterwww.instagram.com/mayarodalewww.twitter.com/mayarodale“POT-TAIL PONDERING” – 29:20Teremana Tequila Blanco and Reposadowww.teremana.comwww.instagram.com/teremanawww.twitter.com/teremanaWho’s sucks more: Benedict vs Sam#suckingface and #getaroomBoth Jane and Duke made grand gesturesBridgerton theories for Katie to ponderNext – “What a Wallflower Wants” and “The Bad Boy Billionaire: What a Girl Wants” by Maya RodaleHosts - Toni Rose & Wendy WooEmail - litwallflowerspodcast@gmail.comFollow on www.instagram.com/litwallflowerspodcastShop at https://www.zazzle.com/store/lit_wallflowers/productsWebsite https://linktr.ee/litwallflowersLit Wallflowers is part of the Frolic Podcast Network.  You can find more outstanding podcasts to subscribe to at Frolic.media/podcasts!

We’re looking through a historical and modern lens of the same story in Maya Rodale’s Bad Boys and Wallflowers series, starting with “ The Wicked Wallflower” and “The Bad Boy Billionaire’s Wicked Arrangement!" Emma and her besties need to find husbands before their finishing school reunion.  While brainstorming, a fake engagement announcement was written as a joke… the alcohol made them do it!The announcement mysteriously made it to the papers and Emma was affianced to Blake, Duke of Ashbrooke.  Instead of denying it, he found sought her out and used the news to win over his aunt.Blake attended his aunt’s Fortune Games (regency era version of the Hunger Games) and he took his betrothed to in order to win an inheritance.  The inheritance would fund his Difference Engine machine.One of the game players was one of the c-you-next-Tuesday characters we met.  And, Emma’s mother turned out to be an schemer. After multiple grand gestures, the scheme broke the faux-to-real engagement, so another announcement moment happened.  Join the ladies as they discuss how the least likely to cause a scandal got into a wicked arrangement!Drawing Room Discussions –Friend of the Pod @BookstaKatieCheck out @buzzingaboutromance“OFFICIAL, UNOFFICIAL BOOK REVIEW”/LISTICLE – 4:13Featuring – Maya RodaleThe Wicked WallflowerThe Bad Boy Billionaire’s Wicked Arrangement novellaBad Boys & Wallflowers serieswww.mayarodale.comwww.facebook.com/mayarodalewriterwww.instagram.com/mayarodalewww.twitter.com/mayarodale“POT-TAIL PONDERING” – 29:06Teremana Tequila Blanco and Reposadowww.teremana.comwww.instagram.com/teremanawww.twitter.com/teremanaDreaming of body shots on “The Rock”We love Duke and his “future” Mrs. Jane AustenNext Up -  “Wallflower Gone Wild” and “The Bad Boy Billionaire’s Girl Gone Wild” novella by Maya Rodale with Friend of the Pod @bookstakatie Hosts - Toni Rose & Wendy WooEmail - litwallflowerspodcast@gmail.com Follow on www.instagram.com/litwallflowerspodcastShop at https://www.zazzle.com/store/lit_wallflowers/productsWebsite https://linktr.ee/litwallflowersLit Wallflowers is part of the Frolic Podcast Network.  You can find more outstanding podcasts to subscribe to at Frolic.media/podcasts!

We’re searching for past memories in “An Earl, the Girl, and a Toddler” by Vanessa Riley!We met Jemina St. Maur who has amnesia in the first book of the series “Rogues and Remarkable Women.”  While Daniel was saving someone for the Widow’s Grace, he found Jemina and saved her too.For two years, Jemina had been trying to remember her past.  With her best friend, she broke into Daniel’s office and soon realized that he knew more than he led on.  All Daniel wanted was to get home at a reasonable time to his daughter who has a past connection to Jemina.Jemina and Daniel’s relationship turns romantic, but the secrets Daniel kept had her wondering what was the truth.  The only truth she knows was her feelings for his daughter. All three went through a tragic, live altering event two years ago.  It was the hope that everything will work out that led Daniel to keep doing work for good, and that led Jemina to keep searching for truths.  It was Hope that kept them sane and heal them from the past.  Join the ladies as they discuss how fate and hope led them to the truth!  Drawing Room Discussions –Frolic Podcast Network“From Blood and Ash” series buddy read with @kissandletmetellyou and @procrastinatewithreadingAudiobooks and impromptu reads“OFFICIAL, UNOFFICIAL BOOK REVIEW”/LISTICLE – 8:20     Featuring – An Earl, the Girl, and a ToddlerRogues and Remarkable Womenwww.vanessariley.comwww.amazon.com/Vanessa-Riley/e/B00C55DARSwww.bookbub.com/profile/vanessa-rileywww.facebook.com/VanessaRileyAuthorwww.goodreads.com/author/show/6949811.Vanessa_Rileywww.instagram.com/vanessarileyauthorwww.pinterest.com/vanessarileybookswww.twitter.com/VanessaRiley“POT-TAIL PONDERING” – 30:49Malibu Caribbean Rum with Coconut Liqueur - Originalwww.maliburumdrinks.comwww.facebook.com/maliburumuswww.instagram.com/maliburumuswww.twitter.com/MalibuRum www.youtube.com/channel/UC6W9oC-9-nEV2lnSjTQjFyQExcited about “Bombshell” by Sarah MacLeanNext Up -  “The Wicked Wallflower” and “The Bad Boy Billionaire’s Wicked Arrangement” novella by Maya Rodale with Friend of the Pod @bookstakatie Hosts - Toni Rose & Wendy WooEmail - litwallflowerspodcast@gmail.com Follow on www.instagram.com/litwallflowerspodcastShop at https://www.zazzle.com/store/lit_wallflowers/productsWebsite https://linktr.ee/litwallflowersLit Wallflowers is part of the Frolic Podcast Network.  You can find more outstanding podcasts to subscribe to at Frolic.media/podcasts!

A wise drag queen once said: "If you can't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?" And we here at FMKlit think it's always a good idea to just pour a glass of wine, light some candles, and love yourself all night long. To celebrate that, we're loving our hosts because our theme is Neil and Claire! Today we read "Lady Claire is All That (Keeping Up with the Cavandishes Book 3)" by Maya Rodale, and "The Foxhole Court (All For the Game Book 1)" by Nora Sakavic. On this autosexual episode, our hosts discuss himbos, the dangers of cracker dust, and spend a shocking amount of time talking about balls.

USA Today Bestselling Author Maya Rodale joins Jess to talk about living in the Regency era (or NOT), her journey to publication, her process and the frustrations when romance is maligned by people who don't know the genre.

Wendy and Toni attend another event at Kingstag Castle and it looks like we’re getting snowed in. The duke and duchess have many in charge for the Christmas party happening while they’re gone, but it’s secretary to the duchess, Viola Cavendish, who’s the most worried. When the Earl of Winterton and his nephew showed up at the castle looking for an atlas, Wesley is trying to find his way elsewhere in “Map of a Lady’s Heart” by Caroline Linden. The Christmas party doesn’t seem to be starting off well especially when Lady Serena Cavendish’s enemy showed up. As they’re stuck inside, their coldness towards each other thaws and made Lady Bridget’s farce a true spectacle at the end in “Hot Rogue on a Cold Night” by Maya Rodale. Then we have the late guests who had their own party at the inn they incidentally found themselves at. Secrets came out between a jilting duke and a runner, but will their story end with the final tryst? Or, will Lady Charlotte Ascot receive more in “Snowy Night with a Duke” by Katharine Ashe? Being snowed in with guests can be a nightmare after a while, but it’s better than being alone. When life gives us a snow storm, we have a farce or simply make do.

This week, Toni discovered four new authors when Wendy suggested the anthology “At the Duke’s Wedding.” They travel to Kingstagg Castle for the marriage of the Duke of Wessex to his future duchess. As long as the symbol of marriage arrives, a heirloom wedding ring, with the Duke’s cousin Jack, then everything is falling into place. But Jack from “That Rogue Jack” by Maya Rodale is falling for Henrietta whom he’s known since his hair pulling days instead of focusing on finding the ring. At the same time, Lady Rosanne is wondering if the man from her letters in Miranda Neville’s “P.S. I love You” is the same man who she’s talking to face to face. Then the Duke’s wedding is complicated not only by the missing ring, but by the storm a woman close to his future wife is causing in his heart in “When I Met my Duchess” by Caroline Linden. On top of that, the wedding party had an unexpected guest in “How Angela Got Her Rogue Back” by Katharine Ashe. Weddings are joyous occasions and can be stressful. The least a guest can do is behave well during the merry occassion. Join the ladies as they discuss how to be a good wedding guest!Drawing Room Discussions –Chelsea Buns and @the_lovely_bibliophile@Bridgerton2000 content sourcingOperation Christmas Child@booksforromance and the giving seasonOur 12 Days of Christmas GiveawayTattoo “creep” and pick-up lines"Official, unofficial book review” / Listicle – 17:34"Pot-tail Pondering" – 52:10Email - litwallflowerspodcast@gmail.comFollow on www.instagram.com/litwallflowerspodcastShop at https://www.zazzle.com/store/lit_wallflowers/productsWebsite https://linktr.ee/litwallflowersFeaturing – At the Duke’s Wedding Anthologyby Caroline Linden, Katharine Ashe, Miranda Neville, and Maya Rodalewww.carolinelinden.comwww.katharineashe.comwww.mirandaneville.comwww.mayarodale.com"Pot-tail Pondering" – Kupu White Whiskeywww.kupuspirits.comwww.facebook.com/kupuspiritswww.instagram.com/kupuspiritswww.twitter.com/KupuSpirits

Special guest, Maya Rodale, joins the ladies to talk about her newest novel, An Heiress to Remember, as well as two romantic comedies that feature characters “of a certain age”: Something’s Gotta Give and Book Club. From Hollywood’s treatment of older female characters, to Christian Grey, to the phenomenon of “competence porn,” this episode takes a closer look at many of the strategies Hollywood employs to cast the romantic comedy as a frivolous genre.

As Maya Rodale notes early in this interview, romance novels tend not to get the same respect as other categories of fiction, historical or otherwise. Here, and in her Dangerous Books for Girls, she argues persuasively that this bad reputation is an attempt by life’s insiders to undermine the central message of most romance novels: that outsiders, too, have the right to love, success, and happiness. But the message is nowhere more evident than in her Gilded Age Girls Club series, in which a small group of wealthy women make it their goal in life to support female-run businesses and their staffs. In An Heiress to Remember (Avon Books, 2020), the heroine, Beatrice Goodwin, suffers from no lack of money; her family has plenty of it—enough to insist that their beautiful daughter wed a duke to bring them prestige in society, even though Beatrice has fallen in love with Wes Dalton, one of her father’s employees. At twenty, Beatrice gives in to her parents’ demands, but sixteen years later, she is back in New York, having scandalously divorced her duke. It is 1895, and wives are not supposed to take that kind of initiative. Beatrice finds her family situation much changed. The man she loved has gone on to build a wildly popular department store directly opposite her own, and the combination of his desire for revenge and her brother’s mismanagement has placed the family fortune in jeopardy. But Beatrice has no intention of standing by while Dalton buys her father’s cherished store out from under her and destroys it. She sets out to beat Dalton at his own game, because if anyone knows what women want from a department store, she does. And before long, Dalton has to worry that she may be right. C. P. Lesley is the author of ten novels, including Legends of the Five Directions, a historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible. Her latest book, Song of the Shaman, appeared in 2020. Find out more about her at http://www.cplesley.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

But the message is nowhere more evident than in her Gilded Age Girls Club series, in which a small group of wealthy women make it their goal in life to support female-run businesses and their staffs. In An Heiress to Remember (Avon Books, 2020), the heroine, Beatrice Goodwin, suffers from no lack of money; her family has plenty of it—enough to insist that their beautiful daughter wed a duke to bring them prestige in society, even though Beatrice has fallen in love with Wes Dalton, one of her father’s employees. At twenty, Beatrice gives in to her parents’ demands, but sixteen years later, she is back in New York, having scandalously divorced her duke. It is 1895, and wives are not supposed to take that kind of initiative. Beatrice finds her family situation much changed. The man she loved has gone on to build a wildly popular department store directly opposite her own, and the combination of his desire for revenge and her brother’s mismanagement has placed the family fortune in jeopardy. But Beatrice has no intention of standing by while Dalton buys her father’s cherished store out from under her and destroys it. She sets out to beat Dalton at his own game, because if anyone knows what women want from a department store, she does. And before long, Dalton has to worry that she may be right. C. P.

In a KWL Podcast first, we checked in with an editor from a major publishing house, Tessa Woodward from HarperCollins. In her eleven years at Harper, specializing in editing romance, women's fiction, and historical fiction, Tessa has seen the industry go through the parallel changes in the emergence of eBooks and self-publishing. Tune in to her Tessa and KWL US Manager Christine Munroe chat about:   The range of genres Tessa edits: women's fiction, romance (historical and contemporary), some mystery and non-fiction. She is specifically always looking for great romance, especially historical What the submission process is like at HarperCollins. Avon Impulse has an open submission policy – it's one of the few remaining imprints that offers that opportunity for authors without literary agents. They receive 100-400 submissions a month What Tessa looks for in a new submission: a great voice She had no background in romance before she started at Avon. How she fell in love with the genre, and the “classic” romance authors she read first in her self-education when she first started: Julia Quinn, Lisa Kleypas, Rachel Gibson, Stephanie Laurens, Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Now, Tessa is a big-time romance book lover who rarely reads outside the genre During a typical workday, Tessa doesn't have time to do much reading or editing. She reviews covers, marketing and publicity, writes and approves copy, takes editorial calls with authors, and answers a lot of emails Why Tessa doesn't expect an unpublished author to have a social media platform established when they approach a publishing house Her one big pet peeve when it comes to authors who do have social media already in place When she's looking at self-published authors interested in a traditional deal, she's much more interested in the potential of this specific story than eBook sales track record for previous books. She still has to pitch the new book to bookstores, who won't be very interested in hearing just about eBook sales or free download numbers The main benefits, from Tessa's point of view, of working with a publisher today. You get an experienced support team who share the publishing burden with you, so that you can focus on writing your next book. Tessa joined HarperCollins 11 years ago, and has seen the industry undergo changes in digital publishing and self-publishing, particularly in romance. She thinks new digital opportunities have opened up the chance for publishers to experiment and publish a lot more books, and a wider range of voices How she feels about hybrid authors – “As long as we're working together, I think it's great!” Hybrid authors bring new insights, and can create opportunities for new hybrid marketing models and more   Senior Editor Tessa Woodward edits a wide array of romance, women's fiction, and historical fiction. On the romance side, she edits authors across all genres, including the New York Times and USA Today bestsellers Tessa Dare, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Jennifer Bernard, and Maya Rodale. Her women's fiction titles range from USA Today bestseller Shelley Noble's beach-set novels, to Molly McAdams' New York Times bestselling New Adult stories, to Lisa Turner's psychological mysteries, and the darker, historical ORPHAN #8, a debut from Kim van Alkemade. She is the US editor for international bestseller Paullina Simons. On the nonfiction side, she is publishing THE WORLD OF MR. SELFRIDGE. She is looking for more women's fiction with strong characters, both historical and contemporary, as well as all genres of romance.
