That's why we were so excited to talk with Cat of TRC designs about her process as a designer of romance book covers. Cat works with authors like Anna Huang, Sav R. Miller and Tessa Hale to name a select few. Learning about her journey to become a book cover designer and her process was super cool. Listen to hear the magic of following your passion, even when you're perfectionism threatens to shut you down before you begin.

Director Dawn Wilkinson directed the last two episodes of one of "Off Campus" our latest romance adaptation obsession!

(And the BBC show adaptation is incredible, we will be discussing it on another episode!)
