Today is a glorious day in the Podfort as the brilliant Ana Reichardt joins us for our first sapphic artist interview. Ana is an award-winning new adult romance author who is dipping her toes into the adult romance pool with her latest novel Crush releasing widely tomorrow (August 15, 2023). In this wide-ranging conversation, we dive deep into how Ana became a writer (weirdly calendar-centric), Ana’s Alder Series, creating uniquely queer characters and stories, and her foray into adult romance. Liz also puts both Ana and Macon through a Crush/Wine Trivia Gauntlet with a hell of a twist at the end.
