Episode 15—Our Nerdiest Thing: Fave Romance Tropes + Author Jessica Cage!
Hello fellow nerds! On this episode, we discuss our fave romance tropes! On today's episode we also discuss:
-Release news
-What we are reading, watching and loving
-Our Nerdiest Thing of the week. -Interview with Author Jessica Cage (54:20)
More about Jessica Cage: Jessica Cage is an International Award Winning, and USA Today Best Selling Author. Born and raised in Chicago, IL, writing has always been a passion for her. She dabbles in artistic creations of all sorts but at the end of the day, it's the pen that her hand itches to hold. Jessica had never considered following her dream to be a writer because she was told far too often "There is no money in writing." So she chose the path most often traveled. During pregnancy, she asked herself an important question. How would she be able to inspire her unborn son to follow his dreams and reach for the stars, if she never had the guts to do it herself? Jessica decided to take a risk and unleash the plethora of characters and their crazy adventurous worlds that had previously existed only in her mind, into the realm of readers. She did this with hopes to inspire not only her son but herself. Inviting the world to tag along on her journey to become the writer she has always wanted to be. She hopes to continue writing and bringing her signature Caged Fantasies to readers everywhere.
Listen in as we chat more about Jessica’s books, her podcasts, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @jcageauthor
