Let’s break this down. A long, flirty first date that turns into dinner, a walk, tea, and hours of conversation? That’s elite. Add in a near-kiss and mutual “I had a great time,” and you’d think a second date is locked in. But the next day, Serena pulls back… hard. No clear reason, just a shift in energy. Is this a classic slow fade, or did Elliot miss a red flag in real time?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kelly Goshorn is an old-fashioned girl at heart who loves Jesus, her family, and all things historical. A native Virginian, she developed a deep love for history, exploring battlefields and museums, which eventually led her to write inspirational historical romance. After earning degrees in social studies, education, and history, Kelly spent nearly two decades as a licensed childcare provider before returning to writing – a passion sparked by her youngest son. Her debut novel, A Love Restored, was published by Pelican Book Group in 2018, and her nonfiction piece, “Beautiful Words,” appeared in the Spoken Moments anthology. She lives in the foothills of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains with her husband of 30+ years, Mike. They enjoy BBC period dramas, board games, and spoiling her Corgi, Levi. You've described yourself as, “An old-fashioned girl trapped in the 21st century. How has that shaped your passion for historical fiction? Kelly: As long as I can remember, I’ve loved history. I had a wonderful grandfather who would tell us stories about his life growing up and stories about our ancestors. The random things I'd find – my dad's World War II Navy picture or my mom's ration book from World War II – I always found them fascinating. But I suspect Little House on the Prairie probably had something to do with it. That was my favorite show growing up. If I did anything to get in trouble, all my mom had to do was threaten to take that away. Because back then, we didn't have unlimited access to shows. If you missed it when it was on, you didn't get to see it again until summer re-runs. Then when Laura called Almanzo “Manly” and I discovered historical romance, I think that just sealed the deal. KyLee: Honestly, that sounds similar to my experience. I had grandpas who were in World War II in the Korean War, and we got to hear all their stories. And I watched a lot of old black-and-white shows, lots of westerns. I love that, as adult women, God's allowed a way for us to look back on those good memories and the values we developed, and now we're creating with them. Can you share how your youngest son inspired you to start writing? Kelly: When the time came to move on from my career as a childcare provider, I wasn't sure what the next step was, but I sensed from the Holy Spirit that it was not going back to teaching. So my husband and I , and our small group, started praying about it. Now my youngest son Noah always love to write. He might be watching SpongeBob, but he had a notebook he always carried with him, and he'd be writing some kind of story. I remember watching Noah one day and thinking how I always loved writing research papers in college and grad school. I thought of myself as hopelessly un-creative, but I loved to play with the sentences, move them around, tweak them. And that day I thought, “I should give fiction a try.” So I started writing, just for myself, no secret desire to be published. And after a few nights of me sitting in front of the TV with my laptop, my husband asked what I was doing. And when I told him, he wanted to read it, so I let him. And he said, “This is good, but you should write our story.” Shortly after that, I switched to writing our story, but set in the 1870s, and it became something I couldn't wait to do each day. I started study the writing craft, and in that process of writing and learning, I realized that was the answer to my prayer. And our story became my debut, A Love Restored. Darcy: I love how you say discovering your new path was a process. You had your family and church family praying, but the Lord didn't drop you a note in your lap to “write novels now.” You were curious, and you tried it, and in that, He show you this was what He wanted you to do. Sometimes we really want the writing on the wall, but God's like, “No. You'll find out. Just trust Me on this.” I think that's cool. KyLee: I was just about to tell you, Kelly, that you should go on the Hope-Filled Romantic Podcast with Heather Tabers. She and I chat quite a bit, and she just started her podcast for Christian romance lovers who believe in both storybook love and the hope that God provides in real life. So I was double-checking her podcast name on Instagram, and I see Kelly Goshorn has already been on the Hope-Filled Romantic Podcast! Authors get to share about their books, but also their real-life love stories, if they’re comfortable doing so. Just a quick shout-out for Heather – our listeners should definitely check out Kelly’s episode on her podcast. Kelly: And secondary shout-out, I had the privilege of reading and endorsing Heather's book that just released, Their Burden to Bear. If people like the World War I era, I highly recommend it. A fantastic novel. Do you have a favorite battlefield or museum or site that you visited that inspired a story scene? Kelly: I'm really inspired by the area where I live in Northern Virginia. Loudoun County has a lot of Revolutionary War and especially Civil War history. We're in a border county in a border state – the next county over became West Virginia. In the western part of our county, we had Quakers who were pro-union, and we have people who were pro-slavery and voted for Virginia to secede from the union. If I could set all of my stories here, I would. I have two, A Love Restored and The Christmas Carving set in Loudoun County. Is there anything especially interesting you could share with us, or something God has laid on your heart that you'd like to share with your readers? Kelly: I like to write about flawed characters that overcome their obstacles with faith and fortitude. Recurring themes in my books are about self-acceptance, and forgiveness, and second chances. The world can be so unforgiving, and we can be so hard on ourselves. I like to write those kind of stories where you kind of dig inside yourself and your faith, and you come out on the other side. And hopefully readers also find a swoon-worthy romance 'cause I'm a romance girl. Darcy: I love that. I was actually reading in Luke this morning, the stories of the prodigal son and the scriptures around there where the Pharisees condemn Jesus for hanging out with sinful and unrighteous people. And I was thinking how we know the story of the lost sheep where Jesus said, “I leave the ninety-nine, and go after the lost one.” Yet, even as we're trying to follow Jesus, we build this sense of self-righteousness. And then we start comparing: “I'm not as holy as that person. I'm not as far along as this person.” So I love that you write about flawed characters who learn to accept that. Because God uses flawed people. He says that over and over in His Word. Book Two in the Enduring Hope series, six stand-alone novels by six different authors, examining manmade catastrophes and how the characters overcome. When life seems weighed down by challenges, there are always pillars of enduring hope and love to be found. Henrietta “Etta” Maxwell, heiress to the Maxwell fortune, is a hard-hitting investigative reporter for The Enterprise Daily. The catch? Etta must pen her columns under the nom de plume, Henry Mason—a fact that routinely puts a knot in her knickerbockers. Leo Eriksson is a second-generation firefighter with a passion for rendering aid to those in need. When Leo discovers that Henry Mason is really Henrietta Maxwell, the fire department's wealthy benefactress, he agrees to keep her identity secret. After a sudden blast rocks the Grover Shoe Factory, Leo and Etta team up to determine if the explosion is related to a series of suspicious fires in the area. When an unnamed source reveals Etta's secret identity to a rival reporter, she falsely accuses Leo of being the informant. As the truth comes to light, Etta must persuade Leo to give her a second chance or lose the only man she's ever loved. What inspired your heroine, Etta Maxwell – a wealthy heiress living a double life as an undercover reporter? Kelly: I am not a plotter. I never know how the story will go; the Lord kind of brings it all together for me. But one thing I did know is I didn't want my characters to be employees of the factory because I thought that might take the reader too close to the grittiness of the disaster. I knew I wanted to make Leo a fireman, and I needed to keep Etta active in the story, so I decided on making her a reporter. Now there were some female investigative reporters, like Ida Tarbell or Nellie Bly, but most female journalists were relegated to domestic or social columns. So I decided Etta would have to masquerade as a man to pull it off. She also writes for The Gilded Gown, a social magazine in Boston. And her parents let her move back to Brockton and work with their charitable foundation, unaware she is secretly the top-notch reporter Henry Mason. How did you go about researching this real-life disaster, this shoe factory explosion? Kelly: I started with a list on Wikipedia of manmade disasters in America, and I'm not exactly sure why I clicked on the Grover Shoe factory. I can only say it was the Holy Spirit. And I immediately saw two images: one of this giant factory, four floors that covered three-quarters of a city block, and an after-picture in which literally nothing is left but the smokestack. And I instantly thought, “Nobody could have survived this. What happened?” I found myself reading more out of my own curiosity. And I just felt like I needed to tell these people's stories. I found a document called, The History of the Brockton Relief Fund, which was compiled a couple years after the disaster. And that became my bible, so to speak because it was written so close to the time. Sometimes even newspapers from the time contradicted one another, so this document became my ultimate primary source. I also found a lot of great information on the Brockton Fire Department through a document online. They have a fire museum there. And I found YouTube documentaries on early 20th-century firefighting and fire investigation techniques. Many of their techniques have now been proven to not be the best way to get to the bottom of an arson, but it's what they used then. Oh, and I found great information on the fire dogs and how they were used, why they were Dalmations. It was fun to incorporate so many details into the book. How do you balance the historical material with the romance? Kelly: It was kind of tricky to build a romance in the midst of such a disaster. It was the beginning of the workday when the fire started, so the building was full – nearly 400 people. And between the broken gas lines and floors treated with linseed oil, they had to call off the rescue within twelve minutes. Fifty-eight people perished. You almost expect it to be the reverse, that only 58 people survived, because it was just a perfect storm of things contributing to the fire. So trying to figure out how to put a romance in that, when you don't want to lighten the gravity of the situation, was tricky. It was another reason to keep my characters outside the factory, and not related to the factory owner or anyone bearing such a heavy weight that they can't think of romance. I started the story with fictitious arsonists she's investigating, and they team up for that. So when the disaster occurred, she already had sources inside the fire department and she's following leads, which enabled them to have that close proximity needed for a romance. Darcy: In some ways, the fact that their romance grows out of something so deep and tragic lets us know that these people are not involved in some light infatuation. They can't hide behind the typical early-romance stage, but have to get to know each other for real. What's next for your writing? Kelly: I don't have any contracts at the moment, but last week I turned in a proposal for a novella collection, along with Carolyn Miller, Angela Couch and Jacinta Meredith. If it's picked up, it will be four marriages of convenience at Christmas. (You might be able to tell that marriage of convenience is one of my favorite tropes. I will always pick that up to read – it fascinates me.) And this weekend, I'm working on a proposal for a book about a mail-order groom that's got some serious You've Got Mail vibes. Where can listeners connect with you? Kelly: I would love to have readers visit my website and sign up for my newsletter. I publish monthly, and I include updates on my writing, but I also cover a new historical romance release each month. I do giveaways. And I like to talk about historical tidbits that history-nerd girls like us enjoy. If you're on Facebook and Instagram, you can find me there, probably talking way too much about my Corgis. I love my Corgi dogs. Levi, who we mentioned at the beginning, has sadly crossed the rainbow bridge. So now we have another Corgi puppy named Biscuit. I also have pages on my website dedicated to extras and historical details for the book. Things that don't always make it into the story, which I hope readers will enjoy. Christmas at Sugar Plum Manor by Roseanna M. White THE BOOK As the beloved stepdaughter of the Earl of Castleton, Lady Mariah Lyons cherishes her home at Plumford Manor, but her idyllic world will be threatened when the estate passes to Cyril Lightbourne, a childhood friend she hasn't seen or heard from in years. Once, Mariah dreamed their friendship would kindle into something more, but that was before she heard Cyril was courting the cruelhearted Lady Pearl. Now Mariah is willing to welcome him as a friend and pray he will be the heir her stepfather needs, but she'll keep her heart locked safely away from anyone with such poor taste. Cyril Lightbourne has long avoided returning to Plumford Manor, yet he reluctantly arrives in time for Christmas. When his friendship with Lady Mariah reignites, he finds himself caught between his affection for her and her family's misunderstanding of his attachment to Lady Pearl. Then, more trouble arrives in the form of a Danish lord on a mission to win Mariah's hand by Christmas. Will the magic of the holiday season help lead to the discovery of true love, or will duty to country leave all longing for what could have been?

Ross is trying to make sense of a date that, by all accounts, should’ve led to a second one. He met Janelle in Oakland for dinner, and everything from the conversation to the energy felt effortless. They were laughing, sharing food, and ended the night with a walk around Lake Merritt because neither of them seemed ready to say goodbye. Ross walked away feeling good about it, but the next day when he texted her, he got no response at all. Now we’re digging into what could’ve happened between a great night and a complete ghost.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"I mean it." Three simple words. Yet they may be the most important line ever spoken in a James Bond film.  In this episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, we explore the moment when James Bond stops being a legend and becomes something far more human. The words "I mean it" appear during the proposal scene in ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE. Bond, played by George Lazenby, asks Tracy di Vincenzo to marry him. She asks if he truly means it. Bond answers quietly: "I mean it."  Those three words changed the Bond franchise forever.  Before this moment, Bond had already appeared in five films starring Sean Connery, beginning with Dr. No. These movies defined Bond as cool, detached, and emotionally unavailable. Romance existed, but commitment never did.  Then Tracy enters the story.  Played by Diana Rigg, Tracy is unlike any Bond woman before her. She challenges Bond. She understands him. She sees through the charm and armor.  And Bond does something unprecedented.  He proposes.  In this episode, we break down the barn proposal scene and its deeper meaning. The storm outside mirrors the danger surrounding them. Inside the barn, Bond reveals something rare: sincerity. The line "I mean it" signals vulnerability. Bond isn't delivering a clever quip. He's making a promise.  That promise changes the emotional stakes of the story. It also sets up one of the most tragic endings in the Bond series. Moments after their wedding, Tracy is murdered by Ernst Stavro Blofeld and Irma Bunt.  Bond's quiet line from earlier suddenly becomes heartbreaking.  We also explore how this moment echoes through later Bond films. References appear in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, and LICENCE TO KILL.   All of it begins with three words: "I mean it."  This episode reveals why that line reshaped the character of James Bond and the emotional core of the franchise.  Episode Highlights  Why "I mean it" reveals the most vulnerable moment in Bond history  How Tracy di Vincenzo changed the emotional rules of Bond films  The symbolism hidden inside the famous barn proposal scene  Why Tracy's death reshaped Bond's future relationships  The surprising references to this moment across later Bond movies  Tell us what you think about the line "I mean it". Is it the line that changed James Bond Forever?  We think this is an important line for the series.  Do you?  Let us know if you think we're right, or if you think we're nuts.  Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.  The more we hear from you, the better the show will surely be!  We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!     You can check out all our CRACKING THE CODE OF SPY MOVIES podcast episodes on your favorite podcast app or our website.

Miguel is not buying that this was a bad date. He says everything about his night with Meiko in Japantown pointed to a second date, strong chemistry, constant laughter, and a connection that felt real. She even told him she had a great time when they said goodbye. But the next day, she goes completely silent. No reply, no explanation. So either something happened that Miguel didn’t catch… or this is one of those ghosting situations that makes no sense at all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the start, Darius says the vibe with Lien felt easy. They met at a Vietnamese restaurant in San Jose, bonded over growing up in the Bay and swapped stories about family, travel, and their favorite foods. The night ended with them sharing fresh fruit from a street vendor on the sidewalk, which Darius thought was a cute, low key moment. She texted that she had fun too.

In this special interview episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we sit down with author and storyteller Sasha E. Sloan to discuss her debut YA fantasy novel, The Ruins Beneath Us. Known for her viral storytelling on TikTok and the fan-favorite series Noble House of Black, Sasha shares how her transition from digital creator to traditionally published author shaped the world, characters, and themes of her novel. Together, we explore the heart of the story: a coming-of-age journey centered on autonomy, family legacy, and the weight of the choices our parents make before we're old enough to understand them. Sasha also pulls back the curtain on crafting the book's emotionally layered love triangle, building complex characters like the brooding Cygnus and determined Finn, and reimagining Elvish lore in a way that feels both classic and refreshingly new for YA fantasy readers. We also talk about the current state of the YA genre, what Sasha hopes to see more of in the space, and how she plans to push the genre forward in future books. If you love fantasy worlds, complicated character dynamics, and conversations about the deeper themes shaping today's YA storytelling, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Evan cannot figure out where this date went wrong. He and Marisol hit it off immediately at a Japanese curry spot near Broadway Plaza. They bonded over spicy food, laughed about the bibs the restaurant hands out, and spent the whole meal teasing each other and swapping stories. Then Marisol stepped away to the restroom. When she returned, the energy had completely changed. The date wrapped up quickly, they hugged goodbye, and Evan never heard from her again after texting the next day.
