Do you feel like your love life needs a little more sizzle? Are you feeling distracted, numb, or a little disconnected from others and yourself? Perhaps reading a romance novel would help you get your groove back!
Meet Tessa Layne, a best-selling romance novelist who talks to Deedre about:
🎙Being diagnosed with ADHD in middle age.
🎙How romance novels are for everyone because there is a story for everyone.
🎙How reading romance novels could help us embrace a full range of emotions we have suppressed – so we feel less numb.
🎙How to be a prolific author despite the massive distractions and time constraints we face every day.
🎙How she learned about sex as an awkward pre-teen before she had access to the internet and how it formed her expectations of it in adulthood.
🎙One of her secrets to boosting book sales.
🎙How the act of writing a short erotic story can fan the flames of passion, spark up your love life, and increase intimacy by reading it to your partner.
🎙Typical “tropes” and genres in romance novels and her plans to create new ones.
🎙Why she thinks women deserve pleasure, should expect it, and take agency over it.
🎙The significant role conflict plays in our lives.
🎙The sexiness of daily chores.
🎙Her thoughts about older women with (much) younger men.
🎙Her pet peeves, fears, and what she looks forward to in the future.
And so much more!
In this episode, we end with some new questions from The Very Interesting Game “After Dark” edition, which are slightly naughty. Find out what this author thinks always deserves a spanking and the food that never should be served at an orgy.
