    SPA Girls Podcast – EP151 – Interview With Grace Burrowes

    This week we have the delightful Grace Burrowes on the show, chatting to Cheryl and Wendy about her career, why she started writing, how she stays authentic, and why she uses blogging to connect to readers. A New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, Grace says she's a recovering child welfare attorney, who for years turned to the reliable HEA of romance novels to balance out the stress in her life as a litigator.  This is a delightful interview with a smart, savvy author who is very open about her writing, her world view, and her career.

    This week's episode is number twelve - that's right, we made it to three months! This episode was a challenge episode, and we each talked about the research we'd done on our particular genres - Trudi looked into the genre conventions of Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy (with a little bit of comparison between them along the way), Cheryl investigated Chick Lit and what makes it so good, Wendy waxed lyrical on the conventions of Historical Romance, and Shar rounded it all out by telling us about Contemporary Romance.
