Episode 164: We’re back from our first trip as a retired couple, and we use the podcast to talk about travel as a metaphor for change, maturity, and aging. Often, we’re made uncomfortable by traveling to familiar places only to find they’ve changed a lot. That happens when you get to a certain age. WeContinue reading “California”

Retired
The big day came and CC is retired. Woo! Raise the Roof! Understandably, today’s podcast is about what happened during CC’s week, her feelings, and our next great adventure.

Ennui
Episode 158: Our “word of the day” podcast theme continues with one of CC’s favorites: “ennui.” Everybody deals with it at sometime in their lives, but creative artists seem to wrestle with ennui like Heracles beating down Antaeus (google it, kids). We talk about our own struggles and come up with some hopefully helpful ideas.Continue reading “Ennui”
Genre vs. Dichotomy
Episode 157: There are writers who can stay in their lane, and there are writers who jump from murder thrillers to space epics.

Romancing Your Writing
Episode 154 is about the passion in writing a romance book…or writing romance in your book. What’s the difference? We discuss how we were “programmed” from an early age and by society to write our respective flavors of romantic novels. We spoil “Romancing the Stone,” “The Lost City,” and the Marvel Universe movies. Also: shortContinue reading “Romancing Your Writing”
Vent Session II
Episode 151 of our podcast is another vent session about our book publishing company Two Moore Books. We had a good week when we were rewarded by our hard work, but we were also reminded of how far we have to go as a small publishing company. Overthinking:-We salute David Soul, an icon of ourContinue reading “Vent Session II”
