144. Author Interview - Arlem Hawks (@arlemhawks)

This week Chelsea and Taryn are joined by historical romance author Arlem Hawks (@arlemhawks) for a super fun chat. Their chat stays spoiler free initially as they talk about Arlem’s writing journey, publishing experiences, and how she comes up with all her stories. In the second half, they dive into spoiler-filled discussions of Georgana’s Secret, Beyond the Lavender Fields, Along a Breton Shore, and Across the Star-Kissed Sea. It's also possible that Chelsea may have given a powerpoint presentation here because she felt that passionately. Timestamps: 📚 General Overview: 0:00 - 32:18 ⚠️ Spoilers: 32:18 - 1:20:05

143. The Iliad by Homer

Is Achilles even the main character? Why are there so many names? And how much ego is too much ego? In this episode, Chelsea and Taryn dive into The Iliad by Homer (via the Emily Wilson translation), with very different reactions. Taryn found a lot to appreciate in the epic battles and larger-than-life drama, while Chelsea... did not. They chat about what worked, what didn’t, and how reading it with a group of online friends made the whole experience way more fun. Expect a short spoiler-free section followed by a deep dive into the world of gods, glory, and an overwhelming amount of hubris.
