Show Notes

Prepare for joy in the latest episode of the podcast!

Alex and Tara sit down with the “reigning queen of comfort reads” Katherine Center, New York Times bestselling author of ten novels, including How to Walk Away, Things You Save in a Fire, The Bodyguard, and her newest, Hello Stranger—an instant New York Times bestseller. 

Katherine writes laugh-and-cry books about how life knocks us down—and how we get back up. She’s been compared to both Jane Austen and Nora Ephron, and Emily Henry said her books are like the perfect hug.

Listen as they discuss her manifesto to read for joy, her lengthy journey to publication, her passion for romance, and the problem with the snobs against it. Plus! Hear her read a special essay about why she started writing romance novels. 

Enjoy!
