Audra Russell chats with romance author DL White.
For as long as she can remember, romance author DL White would much rather be in her room reading and writing than doing anything else, but she only began seriously pursuing a writing career in 2011. She writes romantic women’s fiction featuring Black men and women.
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, DL loves coffee and Sunday Brunch, especially on a patio, but her true obsession is water— lakes, rivers, oceans, waterfalls! And sand... dig your toes in, soft! On the weekend, you’ll probably find her near water and if she’s lucky, on an ocean beach.
By day she is an Executive Administrative Assistant for a billion dollar beverage brand. By night, when she’s not writing books, she’s devouring them. She blogs her reviews and thoughts on writing at BooksbyDLWhite.com.
We have a lively chat about her books, some of her characters and this crazy writing life.
So get ready for some laughs, grab your favorite beverage, and enjoy!

Love, Lies, & Blood Ties with Author Courtney Marie
Audra Russell chats with author Courtney Marie about her debut novel, Love, Lies, and Blood Ties.
Courtney Marie can usually be found reading or watching an action or horror-based movie in her spare time. Writing a novel was always one of her dreams, and with Love, Lies, and Blood Ties, it became a reality.
After serving in the US Army and going back to college to obtain a degree in radiology, it was time to work on her dream, and she became a radiographer by day and writer in the wee hours of the mornings. She loves reading, writing, iced mocha lattes, and anything worth a good laugh or adrenaline rush. She lives in Apopka, Florida with her husband and two children.
This episode is filled with laughter as we talk about her page-turning book that is part suspense, part thriller, and yes even part romance!
Grab your favorite beverage, get cozy, and enjoy!

No Ordinary Book: Chat with Author Janee' Thompson
Audra Russell laughs and argues with author Janee' Thompson as they chat up ALL the drama in Janee's debut novel, Looking Beyond the Ordinary.
Janee' Thompson writes realistic young adult and new adult novels that capture the unique experiences of young black men and women taking it day by day through their own personal struggles. While many popular novels for this target audience focus on racial tension and navigating racial oppression through a youthful perspective, Janee' intentionally creates masterpieces that desensationalize racial trauma and focus solely on characters' individuality amid their blackness.
We laugh and argue as we chat up her debut novel, Looking Beyond the Ordinary, and I put her in the hot seat over all the drama in this book! :-)
So grab your favorite beverage, make yourself comfy, and get ready to laugh until your sides hurt!
