Interview with Author: Laura Bishop

Love, Lies, And A “Fake” AI BoyfriendWhat if the flirty “AI boyfriend” on your phone wasn’t artificial at all? Debut author Laura Bishop joins us to unpack the addictive hook behind Love Me, Stalk Me—a slow-burn, body-positive romance where obsession meets accountability and intimacy waits for honesty to catch up. Laura shares the real-world spark that lit the concept. From there, she built a story that asks sharp questions about privacy, consent, and the comfort we seek in digital confessionals—then grounded it with a heroine learning to trust her voice and a security-chief hero who won’t cross the final line until truth is on the table.And because a great book deserves great buzz, we dig into Laura’s unexpectedly brilliant marketing: partnering with BikeTok creators, filming bookstore rides, and keeping content authentic to each creator’s voice. We also preview the series trajectory. Come for the spicy tension and morally gray hero; stay for a candid, generous look at creativity, confidence, and the line between fantasy and reality.Loved the conversation?
