Stories to Love

Nov 2 2023 • 31 mins

Episode 86 is Jenna Levine.

By day, Jenna Levine works to increase access to affordable housing in the American South. By night, she writes romance novels where ridiculous things happen to beautiful people. When Jenna isn't writing she can usually be found crying over k-dramas, starting knitting projects she won't finish, or spending time with her family and small aarmy of cats.

In this episode, we discussed her debut My Roommate is a Vampire, which was a funny and delightful book. We discussed how she wanted a zany vampire world and her love of reading and writing fanfiction. Finally, we talked about how she developed this slow burn romance, her unusual debut experience from law professor to author.
