In this episode of Podcast in Death, We dive into another "We Review the Reviews" session. This time taking on Apprentice in Death and wow, do the one-star reviewers have thoughts. Is Roarke just a billionaire Mary Sue with too much access to NYPSD investigations? Is a laser rifle supposed to have recoil? And most importantly… is outrage over Nora calling a fictional school “Hillary Clinton High” the hill to die on?We also make a big announcement: for the next three months, we're taking a detour into Nora Roberts' Chronicles of the One series! We've teased it before, but now we're finally doing it—and yes, Tara will actually finish the series this time. (Fingers crossed.)Highlights of this episode include:Rants about how Nora's fictional science doesn't match up with some people's view of Real Science.So many people really pissed about Roarke's 10-minute miracle app that would be impossible for anyone to do, except now it can be done with ChatGPT.A laser-focused (pun intended) takedown of angry reviewers who just… really need to stop reading if they hate the books this much.A moment of appreciation for Susan Ericksen, aka Saint Susan of Ericksen, and her flawless narration.

Book: The Perks of Hospice: Stories of Love, Life, and Loss Website(s): http://lindamoran.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Marbler/ Twitter: @LindaMoran3813 Linda Moran – writing since I was 12, and then a couple of decades later started making some sense, including a memoir…. The Perks of Hospice: Stories of Love, Life, and Loss. I write about a lot of topics, which is so different from starting to write when I was 12 and given a diary. I'd read The Diary of Anne Frank, so my parents bought me what could only be called a “calendar diary.” I had no clue what to write about – I didn't have “thoughts” worthy of going onto paper. I think I wrote a list of what I watched on television and my various heart-throbs (Kookie, a young Leslie Nielsen, Zorro, Robert Goulet…). I'm convinced one of the reasons I did well on term papers in college was because I knew my grammar, due to an amazing Latin teacher – Joan Daniels from Sterling High School in Somerdale, NJ changed my life. Years ago I wrote a thank you in a blog when I heard she had died – but I already had been by to see her and thank her for changing my life. Thanks to Google archive, I could find the blog, since it had already been permanently deleted by a well-known hosting service (25 years with the same web address, a great website, and over 1000 blogs…) It took many years to realize I truly did have something to say…in the form of romance writing. I was planning on becoming another Janet Dailey (Now it would be Nora Roberts). I have three unpublished romances, one of which had a really nice rejection letter (at least I thought so). From there I worked on education articles, including an unpublished mathematics book, “Whatever It Takes: The Journey to Mathematical Success.” It was accepted by a Tucson publisher…who was bought out by a larger Chicago press, and they “lost” my manuscript, as well as 300 pieces of original art illustrations. In retrospect it was a good thing, as I have since learned so much about teaching mathematics that the book would have been a serious flop. I did essays for a while, short writings about the joys and demands and incompetence within the education system, as well as stories about our fiber art creations. Then I had an idea for a novel about Arizona seceding from the US and becoming its own Christian republic. I started in 2013, before a previous president actually had been elected. I finished it in 2015 and shopped it around a bit. The few agents I heard from thought that even for “speculative fiction,” it was too far-fetched. Anyone reading it now would think I had written the current events of the day…but as a history major I interpreted events that did come to pass. I started writing on line in 2018 and everything changed for me. I had readers! I had commenters! I had so many things to say about the world…and then my husband went into hospice for two years, I became a widow, and I wrote about what I really know now – death and grief. I can't imagine not writing about life in these crazy times. My interests show up in education and world affairs. Just click and go exploring.

In 1997, a scandal rocked the world of romance: Janet Dailey, one of the most successful and prolific romance authors of all time, got caught plagiarizing the work of Nora Roberts, one of the other most successful and prolific romance authors of all time. Before the scandal, Janet Dailey was the queen of American romance. Born in small-town Iowa, married in Omaha, and settled in Ozarks, she was a down-to-earth, blue-jeaned rebuttal to the only romance author that outsold her in the 70s and 80s: Barbara Cartland. In 1997 the Internet was in its infancy, so public memory of this scandal is fragmented. This is going to be a two-part episode, and in part one we are covering Dailey's life before she fell from grace for plagiarism. Make no mistake, this is not just boring backstory: this episode is about fame, country music, violence, and one very controversial husband.

It seems impossible that we haven't done this one, but we haven't done this one! We're talking one night stands—the absolute classic that ends up being a part of so many chaotic, wonderful romances. We're talking about how they work, why its so important for them to make sense in the context of the story, and how the best authors inject emotion into one life-changing moment (often) early in the book. Enjoy!Our first read along of 2024 is Natalie Caña's A Dish Best Served Hot. Find it at Amazon, B&N, Apple Books, Kobo or your local indie. If you just can't get enough of us, consider joining our Patreon! You get an extra episode of banter every month and access to the Fated Mates discord, full of people who love romance as much as we do. It's pretty great, we have to say.

She was excited, okay!Sarah and Jen have been doing some other fun reading. Sarah read Jess K Hardy's forthcoming Lips Like Sugar and she also got some cool paperbacks from the inlaws: Gift of Fire and A Coral Kiss by Jayne Ann Krentz along with Nora Roberts' Charmed. Jen and Ernie were reading Reacher short stories.
