In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Jessica Hatch discusses her new novel, How to Keep a Husband for Ten Days. This fun, rom-com story is a second-chance romance about a couple in the middle of breaking up who find themselves having to pretend to be in love with each other for a little while longer. Along with the main characters, Lina and Brown, the book features a cast of characters that is loosely based on a group of friends Jessica met when they all lived in the same old building. Jessica admits that writing How to Keep a Husband for Ten Days was a messier creative process than she is accustomed to, due to the quick deadline she had to meet in order for this book to make it onto the shelves. That’s because her debut novel was released only six months prior. In this episode, I’ll chat with Jessica about her writing journey, her experience with writing under pressure, and why she describes her writing style as “too many books, too little time.” Jessica also shares a link to her article with advice for meeting an intensive deadline: read Jessica’s article here!

In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Melody Johnson discusses her latest novel, Sight Beyond the Sun. It is the follow up to her novel, Beyond the Next Star, and both books are part of Melody’s Love Beyond series. In her latest, Sight Beyond the Sun, Melody brings us fresh main characters and a whole new world to explore in this stand-alone alien romance that involves espionage, an intergalactic human-trafficking ring and an enemies-to-lovers romance. Melody has been writing and publishing for quite a while now, and she’ll give us some insight into mistakes she’s made, lessons she’s learned, and her experiences as hybrid author dealing with both traditional and indie publishing. In this episode, I’ll chat with Melody about her writing journey, how she continues to grow as a writer and editor with each book she produces, and why she shifted her focus from running book ads to finding ways to connect directly with readers.
