That's par for the course when you're a savant—one of less than one hundred in the world. But despite her photographic memory and super-powered intellect, there's one mystery Penny's never been able to solve: why did her father leave when she was in a coma at age seven, and where is he now? On Penny's twenty-first birthday, she receives a card in the mail from him, just as she has every year since he left. But this birthday card is different. For the first time ever, there's a return address. And a goodbye. Penny doesn't know the world beyond her mother's house and the special school she's attended since her unusual abilities revealed themselves, but the mystery of her father's disappearance becomes her new obsession. For the first time ever she decides to leave home, to break free of everything that has kept her safe, and use her gifts to answer the questions that have always eluded her. What Penny doesn't realize is she might not be able to outsmart a world far more complicated and dangerous than she'd ever imagined...

"I can make anything sexy." Today, we have the audio from our virtual release party for Katee Robert's fourth Dark Olympus book, Radiant Sin. She's in conversation with the wonderful Xio Axelrod, and, together they chat about the fun of loose retellings and why the worlds of Katee's various series are intertwined. Both authors share their favorite tropes and talk through the differences between traditional and indie publishing and what they do when they hit a wall while writing. Katee considers which character in the series so far surprised her the most and how her sex scenes stay fresh because they're derived from character. She also previews what's coming for some of our Dark Olympus favorites, and even teases a project that she's afraid to attempt, but is attempting nonetheless.

Karen and Tess enjoyed talking to USA Today bestselling author Xio Axelrod. She told us how she became a novelist (quite by accident), and how her background as a composer of music informs her lyrical writing style.  The ladies were fascinated to hear that as a melophile Xio literally has an internal soundtrack playing all the time. Her fiction is inclusive and will appeal to anyone who loves music and those who love to see influential women characters in  rock band fiction.  You heard it here first: their time has come.An added bonus? Xio explained how it's possible to have "part-time" cats as pets. Her newest book is: The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes: A story of love, loss, and rock-and-rollhttps://xioaxelrod.com/https://www.facebook.com/XioAxelrodhttps://twitter.com/XioAxelrodhttps://www.instagram.com/XioAxelrod/

Is she destined to keep living life vicariously through her characters? Is there an HEA future possible? Hell yes, you know there is. 

Xio Axelrod sips some whiskey with me while talking about her ambitious new book - The Girl With Stars in Her Eyes. Part romance, part women's fiction, part rockumentary - this book rocks in every category.

They have many thoughts about that one, but yeah, they all boil down to change your locks and block her on your phone. 

With the help of New York Times bestseller Sarah MacLean with the Fated Mates podcast, Xio Axelrod, Avery Flynn & Roan Parrish answer a letter writer's questions about being a romance author and discuss the hard questions that come when you're jealous that your partner's masturbatory time seems to mean no sex for you. 

It is release week for some of our favorite people, and we're here to celebrate with them!

We also talk about their fabulous new release, now Sarah's favorite CLo book, The Soulmate Equation. Preorder it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Bookshop.org, or signed from Vroman's bookstore! Our next read along is out of print (but available in audio!), so you will have to do a bit of a used bookstore hunt to get it! Get Anne Stuart's truly eye-widening Tangled Lies at your local library or via a used bookseller near you. We recommend checking Amazon, eBay & Thrift Books. Thank you, as always, for listening! Please follow us on your favorite podcasting app, and if you are up for leaving a rating or review there, we would be very grateful!Show NotesIf you'd like to order signed copies of The Soulmate Equation, check out Vroman's Bookstore or the other book shops on CLo's virtual book tour. Tonight, 5/19/2021, Christina and Lauren are celebrating the launch of The Soulmate Equation with Sarah, Xio Axelrod, and Rachel Epstein. If you want to dive into the Theranos story, Lo recommends the book Bad Blood by John Carreyrou, and the New York Times has a list of recommended things to read and watch. 23 & Me and other DNA Ancestry tests can tell you some things: whether or not you think cilantro tastes like soap, and about the size of our hair follicles, but as of right now, science can't tell you much about your fated mate, I mean soulmate.Questions about the future of technology and how it intersects with humanity make for great television in shows like Black Mirror, The One, and Casual.I don't know, maybe you've heard about there being a fundamental incompatibility between science and religion, but others are pretty sure we can work it out.If you're not a sportsball fan, Michael Jordan is a kind of a big deal. Aphrodisia was a short-lived Kensington imprint that focused on erotica and erotic romance, it ran from 2006 to 2014. Jen asked if it was Ellora's Cave, which was another powerhouse erotic romance publisher that shuttered in 2014. A satyr is a magical creature from Greek mythology, so we're not sure if they 1) have two dicks and 2) if they are covered in soft fur. You're going to have to use your own imagination.We all hope that Nicholas the satyr is a little sexier that Mr. Tumnus from the movie version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.Slate had a woman asking for advice about her pandemic threesome with two brothers, and you can tell a romance reader didn't write that advice, because probably they could work that out. Jen alerted Jenny Nordbak immediately, of course. Are you also looking for monster fucking romances? If you need a quick review on alpha traits, listen to our episode from season two.Knotting isn't just for A/B/O, it's also in romance. Same with mPreg romances and DP (which no one has made a list of!), in case you need a primer. Lo is looking for a romance that she thinks is called Passionate Ink about an octopus shifter tattoo artist...Maybe? Christina wants your favorite mPreg romance recommendation. We'll also take marriage of convenience recs and secret scar recs if you're in the mood.More about the word "quim" and how it was used in that Avengers movie. Next up, Tangled Lies by Anne Stuart. Buy it used because it's not avaible as an eBook.
