Hello My Happy People,
We are down to the final two episodes of the Lovefest for Season 5, and today’s episode brings a little romance and a lot of heart. Romance author Maria Jane joins Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt — Book Talk Podcast to talk about love, storytelling, and the magic found in imperfect journeys.
Maria Jane, the romance pen name of Tricia Copeland, believes that love is not always clean or easy, but it is always worth the ride. We spoke with Tricia in Season 4 episode 192 about her epic fantasy series the Realm Chronicles. Today we chat with her about her Perfect Romance series. This series delivers sweet moments, unexpected turns, and characters chasing their happily-ever-after or happy-for-now endings, all wrapped in stories that feel both fun and emotionally real.
In this episode, we talk about her transition into romance, how her writing has evolved across genres, and the inspiration behind her Perfect Romance series. If you are looking for a story that reminds you why love is worth the chaos, this is one you will not want to miss.
Enjoy,
Dianne
