  72: Kate Cole, Her New Book High Voltage, Women in the Trades Romance, and Redefining HEAs

  Sep 21, 20261 hourS1

  Romance author Kate Cole joins the Love Letters and Books podcast to discuss her unapologetically feminist Women in Trades romance series, which centers women in male-dominated professions and gently challenges stereotypes about tradespeople, gender roles, and sexuality. We talk about Kate’s lyrical, music-infused novel High Voltage—featuring electrician Greta and professor Ellis—as an opposites-attract romance with letter writing, a mid-to-late-30s crossroads, and a focus on intimacy, communication, and the orgasm gap. Cole shares real workplace experiences of being the only woman on a crew, as well as themes such as reproductive autonomy and broader misconceptions about blue-collar work, money, and intellect. She also reflects on starting to publish at 48, making space for creativity, and offering HEAs that don’t require marriage or babies. Cole reads a love letter about purpose, resilience, and living by kindness. Her new book High Voltage releases on September 26th!

  71: Transactional Dark Romance: Author CJ North and Her New Book What’s Beneath

  Sep 14, 202644 minS1

  Author CJ North returns to Love Letters and Books to discuss What’s Beneath, a post-apocalyptic transactional dark romance set years after a world-ending pandemic. CJ introduces Nyx and her sister Skye, who survive in a remote cabin while managing Skye’s hypothyroidism with scarce, improvised medicine, forcing Nyx into increasingly compromising choices to keep them alive. Inspired by The Walking Dead and a desire to portray chronic illness in a post-medicine world, CJ explores vulnerability, survival, and what happens when people hide their pain “beneath the surface.” The conversation dives into Nyx’s secrecy, the morally gray dynamic with masked MMC Rattle, and the book’s spiritual, mythic elements tied to obsession, ritual, and identity. They also discuss the cultish settlement Bright Meadow’s takeover, shifting power dynamics, women’s agency, and the consequences men fail to anticipate. What’s Beneath releases September 24 on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.

  Sep 7, 202637 minS1

  Author Maggie Gates joins Love Letters and Books to discuss Blue Jean Summer, a cowboy marriage-of-convenience romance set on the Wilder Estate in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.

Follow their journey of falling in love one summer as they navigate grief, abandonment, and the masks they wear to get through the world. Gates highlights themes of being held (physically and emotionally), partnership, trust, and learning to accept care—as shown in Hayes’s protective “my wife” moments and Katherine’s struggle to believe she deserves care. The episode teases the next Wilder Estate book, Steel-Toed Slow Dance, and shares release dates and upcoming events for Blue Jean Summer and Smoke Ring.
