Craig and Irma talk about writing guides, in particular the new </p>book by Georgia Richter and Deborah Hunn, How to be an Author. Then Craig chats with Valerie Parv about how she went from an advertising copywriter to sales of over 34 million books, whether genre elitism and genre prejudice exist, the crazy debacle that was dubbed Parvgate, the impact of COVID on reading and publishing, moving from romance into science fiction, and a funny make-up mix up in the green room with her husband.
