We hit so many fun topics:

Her debut novel Bringing Down the Duke

Lisa Kleypas is one of her favorite historical authors. You can check our podcast review of Devil in Winter here.

Joanna Shupe

Mimi Matthews - writes Victorian historicals that are very well researched and wholesome

Evie lives in Berlin, Germany and Shani was up early and on time! Yeah Shani!

We talked about our love of Berlin and Shani reveals she’d live there!

Evie is German and Lebanese!

Scotland and how much she loves to visit and go camping and it feels really magical

Her third book has a highlander MC to pair with Hattie! and he’s the darkest MC of the series! Hattie is also very far away from Hattie in real life so she said it was a stretch to write her.

And Bridget reveals how Irish and Scottish boys have the twinkle in the eyes.

Fifty Shades of Grey - and how popular it is. and how it shows that what people say and what they buy is totally different.

365 on Netflix - we’re having a watch party with our Patrons!!

Evie’s thoughts about turning historical romance novels into TV and movies and how hard it is with a newer author without an extensive backlist like Julia Quinn (whose interview is coming out next week!)

How Evie Dunmore got published at one of the big 5 publishing houses after getting an agent who then sold a 3 book deal to Berkley. And now after the first book did well they ordered a 4th and 5th book!

The planning of her series The League of Extraordinary Women and how originally she thought Hattie would be next, but then Tristan popped up at the ball and she got the idea for Lucie! She always had in mind was the theme across the books were the girls were going to work towards amending the Marriage Equality Act in their own way.

A Rogue of One’s Own is out - get your copy!

Evie’s writing style is to hide in a nook as she is an introvert. And the process has evolved as she has evolved as a writer learning to write for hours at a time, and with the difference between Covid19 writing, 2nd book syndrome and more.

Shani and Evie connect over hyperfocus, empath hours, and the energy output to being with other people.

Evie's love of reading from an early age. And her mom’s punishment of taking her books away.

Evie reveals how the character that she is the most like is Sebastian!

The sex scenes!! How she comes up with them and how she’s developing as a writer in this realm. (She has a novella on her mind that is spicy!)

How novels can be a place where you can do things you wouldn’t do in real life and you can explore and find out about your desires and see new perspectives.

The illustrated cover of her books and her thoughts on being surprised by seeing her cover.

The audiobook process! Evie chose the narrator but never listened to the whole book!

Working with her editor to craft her book together and working together vs working against each other.

Why Evie quit Twitter!
