In her upcoming sophomore novel Let’s Kiss and Tell, Joss Richard explores sex-positive topics like sex work, vasectomies, and childfree happily-ever-afters. In this episode of Rebel Ever After, we dug into what romance genre conventions are made to be broken, and writing stories that make readers feel seen. Plus! You will not guess what fan fiction Joss wrote as a teenager. She shared how an idea for a Three’s Company fic led to her first novel, It’s Different This Time.

This episode is not appropriate for children, or people who don’t want to bonk radioactive ghouls in the post-nuclear fallout wasteland. If you know you know.
