"Part 2 of our conversation with Kate Cuthbert (Escape Publishing) & Sarah Wendell (Smart Bitches, Trashy Books). We talk about Georgette Heyer’s books, heroines who shoot heroes, whether or not blogging or editing has changed the way we read books, tentacle porn, the blurry line between shapeshifter sexy times and bestiality, how much porn informs erotic romance, and sooo many books and authors.

Horrific planning on my part - Julia Quinn

Ainslie Paton (contemporary romance author) & Jodi McAlister (literary historian) chat about on various aspects of the romance genre, including a brief history of Mills & Boon, virgin heroines, young adult fiction, and different versions of 'normal'. Jodi explains the concept of 'compulsory demisexuality', which sounds really intimidating, but which was the inspiration for our show title. So, you know, it's fun and a little bit naughty! This is part 1 of our conversation.
