In today's episode, Lucy Eden, romance author comes to the podcast to share her journey and tips for writing realistic characters to get readers to connect with your books. We also discuss her novella, Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend and the romance trope she likes to write.
Lucy Eden is the nom de plume of a romance-obsessed author who writes the kind of romance she loves to read. She’s a sucker for alphas with a soft gooey center, over the top romantic gestures, strong & smart MCs, humor, love at first sight (or pretty damn close), happily ever after & of course, dirty & steamy love scenes.
When Lucy isn’t writing, she’s busy reading—or listening to—every book she can get her hands on— romance or otherwise.
She lives & loves in New York with her husband, two children, a turtle & a Yorkshire Terrier.

Welcome to A Reader’s Book Corner, the podcast that showcases indie books and the talented authors who write them. I’m your host Teresa Beasley, a thriller author and founder of A Reader’s Book Corner, the blog and podcast of the same name.
In 2023 we discussed a lot of good books and had conversations with some very talented authors. In this episode I just wanted to do a little end of the year review and share some of my favorite books and top episodes.
Top Episodes
#1 Epi 118 Soapy Romances and Thrillers with Shelly Ellis
#2 Epi 76 Interview with Poetry Arthur Smith II
#3 We have two episodes that made the third spot
100th episode Run on Red by Noelle W. Ihli
Epi 121 Then She Lived Even After by Desiree M. Adams
Genres Discussed
Christian Fiction-1, Coming of Age-2, Thriller-8, Romantic Suspense Thriller –2, Paranormal Thriller-1, Mystery-3, Romance-5, College Romance-2, Christmas Romance-3, Historical-1, Fantasy-3, Cozy Fantasy-1
Favorite Five Episodes-in no particular order
Epi 77 Day Not Promised by Pat Simmons
-This was the right book to start 2023. A Christian Fiction book about when the Lord fights our battles the bad guys don’t always win.
Epi 98 Save Her by Chris Patchell
-This was a novella that pacts a punch with suspenseful high-stakes and anticipation of if any of these characters would survive.
Epi 80 The Butcher’s Daughter by Parker J. Cole
-This book was full of history with issues of race, class, rejection and families in the 1846 even discriminated against their own kind.
Epi 119 All I’ve Wanted All I’ve Needed by A. E Valdez
- This is a contemporary romance book about a woman tired of hoping for a traditional happily ever after. She wants to explore life in a different way to find a love that fully completes her. It was well written with characters you can’t help invest in
Epi 110 Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
- It shares themes of overcoming and beating the odds, even when Viv wanted to give up the encouragement she receives is remarkable. The characters are wonderful in this book.
I did interview some talented authors but I can’t pick out one or two that were my favorites because I enjoyed speaking with them and learning about their journey’s in becoming writers.

Welcome to A Reader's Book Corner! Happy Holiday Listeners, hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Welcome to 2024! I can’t believe we are already in a new year and I appreciate everyone whose tuned in to any or all of the episodes. We discussed a lot of good books and learned about a lot of new authors, ones I hadn’t read their books and some I always read their books.
It’s exciting because when I’m introducing you all to new authors and books, I’m also introducing those new authors and books to myself. Now today, we are going back to another author whose book was featured on the podcast, Pat Simmons, we discussed her new book, Day Not Promised in Episode 77 and Pat came on the podcast in Episode 70.
We started off 2023 with her title and I thought it would be poetic to start 2024 with book two in her The Intercessors series, Day She Prayed. This book is a Christian fiction book about one woman standing in faith while helping others find their way to the Lord. It is about a community built with prayer warriors. It shares it's not too late to seek out the Lord and ask for forgiveness.
We discuss crossover characters, the main character's assignment, how others work in your favor even when you don't know, how the intercessors series can affect you, about the author and more.
Pat Simmons books area available on Amazon

Here at ARBC we are starting the year with a positive vibe book and I want to pose a question to everyone, which for 2024 I will be asking a call to action question at the end of each episode.
