In this episode, we’re chatting with our very own Stephanie Riley about her debut contemporary romance novel, Practically Perfect. We discuss how the idea for the book came to her in a dream more than ten years ago, the songs that best match the vibes of the book, why the spicy scenes were the easiest for her to write, why she hopes Kate’s character is relatable to readers, and what else we can expect to see from her in the very near future.
Practically Perfect is available as an ebook and a paperback on Amazon, as well as on Kindle Unlimited. Lost in the Neon Lights is available for pre-order on Amazon.
