    RomanceClass Podcast Episode: The Rockstar Trope

    February 28, 2021 - By 

    RomanceClass Podcast is back with Season 4! Kicked off with the launch of The Tropetastic Kindness Bundle (available until April 14, 2021 here, all proceeds to charity!), and now with Episode 2: The Rockstar Trope. Alternate title: Why Are Rockstars?? Super cool to have been part of this panel because 1) I write about rockstars in romance, and 2) turns out it’s good to sit with the questions of why we are fascinated with these musician people and why and how we enjoy them, specially in our romance content. Chatted with gig/music/writer friends Dawn Lanuza, Six de los Reyes, and…

    Hello Ever After: Favorite Alarm (The One Where Kris and Ringo Helped Me Process)

    August 29, 2020 - By

Tara Frejas has a more coherent origin story for the Hello Ever After series. For me I learned it from her and Mina V. Esguerra, and then Mina shared her draft of the script. It was Ben and Naya from What Kind of Day, and it spoke of anger and love and pushing back. It wasn’t difficult to start from there. I was at work…

    August 26, 2020 - By 

    Written for #RCReadathon2020 Prompt and Pairing, Please! Challenge. Kris and Ringo are characters from You Out of Nowhere, a book from Romanceclass Flair. Prompt (that I asked for):  Kris and Ringo at the beach, may or may not be during Summer Crush ***   “Kris, wake up.” “No. Kris, don’t wake up” “We’re catching the sunrise. You promised” “Doesn’t sound like me.” “It’s the first sunrise I get to see where I’m not headed for the office.” One cheek peeling off the pillow. Lashes unsticking. A bleary eye opening, staring at him through a mess of soft curls. “That’s too…

    Something Meeting by Six de los Reyes

    August 26, 2020 - By 

    Written for #RCReadathon2020 Prompt and Pairing, Please! Challenge. Sort of. Jill is a character from the Playlist series, starting with Songs of Our Breakup. Rhys is a character from Six de los Reyes‘ book Just For the Record and also appears in anthology Summer Crush. Prompt: No one asked for this but follows this first meeting and we suppose this is now canon.   *** They handed over the payment at the same time. To which the lady behind the fresh juice bar looked at them odd as they each tried to one-up each other and pay for the other’s…

    and then they were roommates by Six de los Reyes

    August 26, 2020 - By 

    Written by Six de los Reyes for #RCReadathon2020 Prompt and Pairing, Please! Challenge. Jett is a character from Feels Like Summer. Rhys is a character from Just For the Record. They both may or may not appear in other de los Reyes band/summer romance books near you. ***   Jett was testing her patience. But that wasn’t new. Anyway, Rhys has had her whole life perfecting the art of not giving a flying fuck and that included ignoring any and all distractions to maintain her mien of No Fucks Given. At the moment, Jett was very much challenging Rhys’s cool but…
