Well, listeners, it finally happened to us! Kelsey accidentally recorded with the wrong mic, so while our audio isn't quite the quality you're used to, the content still is! James Trevellion has been Lady Phoebe Batten's bodyguard for almost a year. While his presence seemed just another way for her brother to limit her freedom, she reconsiders his usefulness after he thwarts a kidnapping attempt. While she admits she needs him to keep her safe, she cannot help but feel more interested in him as a man than a guard. James has admired Phoebe from the start but never dreamed she would return his feelings. Yet when Phoebe suddenly kisses him one night, he's faced with a choice: make it clear he is only her brother's employee or give in to his deeper feelings.

They discuss redacted titles; explaining POV in a query letter; putting the hook front and center; coincidences in the story; too much internal and not enough external in the first pages; dual POV in a query letter; tension leaks and starting with proper interiority and not narration.After which, Bianca chats with Felicity George, author of A Lady's Risk , about regency romance and what the genre is; how she tackles getting the language of that era correct; her novel's inciting incident and the key event; Felicity's reasoning for her POV choice; and her road to publication.Find us on our socials:Twitter: @TSNOTYAW @BiancaM_author @carlywatters @ceciliaclyraInstagram: @biancamarais_author @carlywatters @cece_lyra_agent @ the_shit_about_writingFacebook: @tsnotyawWebsites: www.theshitaboutwriting, www.biancamarais.com and www.carlywatters.com Felicity can be found at www.felicitygeorgeauthor.wordpress.com, on Instagram at @FelicityGeorge_romance and Twitter at @elizabethwelke
