Age Is Just a Number...Or Is It? A discussion about the age of main characters in romance

In this episode of The Clean Romance Podcast, Sarah Ruth Hickner and Tiffany Noelle Chacon dive into the role age plays in today's romance and fantasy books. Why are so many protagonists in their late teens and early twenties? Do readers want more stories featuring characters in their thirties, forties, and beyond, or are we happy escaping into worlds filled with twenty-year-olds saving kingdoms and finding love? Join us as we discuss age representation, reader expectations, and whether it's time for romance and fantasy to broaden the age range of their heroes and heroines.If you love this discussion, you'll want to check out our episode, "Is Reading Romance Good for Your Marriage?" On Youtube https://youtu.be/a8muMtFjj1QApple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-clean-romance-podcast/id1853708300?i=1000749075389Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Wqz17qWpiYfXEwO6nGUhM?si=w-kyx2ysRnqVH1-yJlUvgQCheck out our Five-Star Reads:Tiffany: All the Things That Come Between Us by Sarah Hickner https://amzn.to/4eQJqhFSarah: The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck by Bethany Turner https://amzn.to/4bgtfJfOther books of older main characters by friends and friends of the show:Meet our friends of the show and snag a free ebook (or 3) here! www.thecleanromancepodcast.com/friendsOf Song and Darkness by Jessica Spruill https://amzn.to/4vDnvS0The Risk She Takes by Ella Marie https://amzn.to/4gcz51UYours Temporarily by Rose Fresquez https://amzn.to/3SP0TiYAmong the Kingdoms Jacqueline Vaughn Roe https://amzn.to/4vFMIeKJoin the conversation on your favorite social channel!Instagram YoutubeTikTokCheck out our website: www.thecleanromancepodcast.com to learn more about Tiffany and Sarah and for links to all the five star reads!To find out more about Tiffany and Sarah’s books, check them out here:Tiffany’s books can be found here: AmazonSnag a free book by Tiffany at www.tiffanynoellechacon.comSarah’s books can be found here: Amazon Check out freebies from Sarah at www.sarahhickner.comThank you to RCC Music for letting us use your song!
