Comrades! Today I'm chatting about "older" heroines with queer writer, author of EVERY STEP SHE TAKES, and WRION veteran, Alison Cochrun. We talk about whether FMCs are getting older in romance, queer awakenings, and how we balance escapism and diversity in our reading. We also recommend some delicious romances with FMCs who are 30+ years. Enjoy the show!Connect with Alison: www.alisoncochrun.com; @alisoncochrunEpisodes ft.
