Author Regina Black, a Pod Exclusive

Becca chats with author Regina Black, whose debut, The Art of Scandal, a sexy drama about a political wife, a young artist, and some very messy (very wealthy) families, was released last year in hardcover and is coming out April 23rd in paperback.    Regina talks about her introduction to genre romance, the strange feeling of having your “debut” novel be the 11th book you’ve written, the struggle of writing characters who are visual artists when you, yourself, are not one, her “design principle” for this book and the inspiration she took from soap operas, the way she writes character arcs for her romance protagonists that mirror one another and why it made sense to give the main characters in this book an age gap, her self-described “intense” writing process, and which parts of The Art of Scandal she found trickiest to get right and which parts were the most fun to draft. ·     Finally, we get a little peek at her next book and, of course, she shares some books she’s loved recently.
