Magic Carpet. Romance writing. Historical. Heroines. Theatre. Just a few words. And then my interview with Sharon Kayne. My longest interview in five years. We’ve been part of Kae Wagner’s Bold Authors Network since its inception in January 2025. But Sharon was just a figure on the Zoom screen. Then we Zoomed into her world of romance writing. And we couldn’t stop talking. I never knew how important it is to touch a woman’s face as an endearment. Just a small element from this very entertaining, learning, imaginative, and necessary world. Sharon is a gift of passion and dedication, wondrously knowledgeable and perfectly expressive, as her books are. Historical fiction is no easy journey. Sharon takes us on this journey. She defines romantasy. Energy abounds. And I just ordered ‘Variations on a Romance’ from Amazon. My first romance novel. To seal our bond, Sharon was born in Phoenix. I’m a twelve-timer down there in Arizona. More magic as Sharon is.” Calvin THIS INTERVIEW IS PART ONE. NEXT MONTH PART TWO! ?️ 700+ Interviews & Videos ? 9,200+ Subscribers — and growing ?
