MC Mini: What can romance novels teach us about connection? with Andie J. Christopher
In this Missed Connections minisode, Lizzy and Beth welcome romance author Andie J. Christopher to the podcast. USA Today's best-selling author Andie J. Christopher writes sharp, witty, sexy contemporary romance about complex people finding happiness ever after. Her work has been featured in NPR, Cosmopolitan, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, and The New York Post. Prickly heroines are her hallmark, and she is the originator of the Stern Brunch Daddy. Andie lives in the Nation’s Capital with a French bulldog, a stockpile of Campari, and way too many books.
Today, Andie joins us as we explore fantasy and connection in a completely different way through romance novels! We dispel the unrealistic labels of the genre and how these stories might educate and inform us about what we might actually desire.
This episode is FUN and spicy. We’re grateful for Andie J. Christopher encouraging everyone to read a romance PLUS giving us the deets on a beloved trope known as Stern Brunch Daddy.
