Episode 15—Our Nerdiest Thing: Fave Romance Tropes + Author Jessica Cage!

Hello fellow nerds! On this episode, we discuss our fave romance tropes! On today's episode we also discuss:

-Release news

-What we are reading, watching and loving

-Our Nerdiest Thing of the week. -Interview with Author Jessica Cage (54:20)

More about Jessica Cage: Jessica Cage is an International Award Winning, and USA Today Best Selling Author. Born and raised in Chicago, IL, writing has always been a passion for her. She dabbles in artistic creations of all sorts but at the end of the day, it's the pen that her hand itches to hold. Jessica had never considered following her dream to be a writer because she was told far too often "There is no money in writing." So she chose the path most often traveled. During pregnancy, she asked herself an important question. How would she be able to inspire her unborn son to follow his dreams and reach for the stars, if she never had the guts to do it herself? Jessica decided to take a risk and unleash the plethora of characters and their crazy adventurous worlds that had previously existed only in her mind, into the realm of readers. She did this with hopes to inspire not only her son but herself. Inviting the world to tag along on her journey to become the writer she has always wanted to be. She hopes to continue writing and bringing her signature Caged Fantasies to readers everywhere.

Listen in as we chat more about Jessica’s books, her podcasts, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @jcageauthor

Bonus: Author Jasmine Walt

Hello, fellow nerds! You know who we can’t wait to meet at Imaginarium Book Festival? Jasmine Walt! So we were thrilled that she accepted our invite to the podcast to chat about her new book, The Vampire’s Bargain!

NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL Bestselling Author Jasmine Walt is obsessed with books, chocolate, and sharp, pointy objects. Somehow, those three things melded together in her head and transformed into a desire to write. Usually fantastical stuff, with a healthy dose of action and romance. Her characters are a little (okay, a lot) on the snarky side, and they swear, but they mean well. Even the villains sometimes.

When Jasmine isn't working on her next book, you can find her practicing her RNC on the jiujitsu mats, spending time with her friends and family, or traveling the world. She loves to hear from her readers, so if you've got a question or just want to say hi, feel free to contact her via her website at www.jasminewalt.com.

Listen in as we chat more about Jasmine’s books, jiujitsu, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow Jasmine @jasmine.walt
