Reading Women

In this week’s episode, Kendra and Joce chat with Lyssa Kay Adams, the author of The Bromance Book Club series. (Note: While we enjoyed this series, the title third book includes ableist language. The title has very little to do with the content, but we just wanted to give you a heads up.)

Author Bio

Lyssa Kay Adams read her first romance novel in eighth grade after swiping one from her grandmother’s book shelf and was hooked forever. After a nearly 20-year career as a journalist, her dreams of writing and publishing her own HEAs came true in 2015 with the release of her first novel, Seventh Inning Heat, followed by the RITA-nominated novella, Wild in Rio. Today, she writes full-time from her home in Michigan with a pesky, fluffy K9 assistant named Domino who spends most of his day snoring on her desk (that is, when he’s not burying things around the house).

Author Bio
