This week my guest is Betty Corrello, author 32 Days in May, Summertime Punchline, and her brand new Christmas romance Back For Seconds. She also writes paranormal romance as B.C. Dolce, including My Italian Vampire and Wild Ruin. We talked about anti-belly propaganda, why chefs are so sexy, and writing a holiday romance for people who don’t relate to the Hallmark hometown Christmas cookie of it all.

Content warning: Mid episode, we talk about mental illness and putting suicidal ideation on the page.
