Ep 675: Why Choose Shifters and Heat Ratings Author Imogen Knowed on Writing Cozy Sweet Spicy Romance. *watch the video version on YouTube at Ruan Willow Podcaster.

Romance Author Imogen Knowed Reveals the Secrets Behind Writing Polyamorous "Why Choose" Stories.

Ever wondered how authors craft realistic polyamorous romance without relying on supernatural shortcuts? Romance author Imogen Knowed pulls back the curtain on her unique approach to "why choose" stories and shifter romances, explaining why she ditched the fated-mate trope for something far more complex.

In this candid conversation with host Ruan Willow, Imogen discusses her latest works including **Whispers, Whiskers and Wine** and the upcoming **Dates and Dead Bodies**—a cozy murder mystery that blends polyamorous romance with small-town intrigue. She opens up about the challenges of marketing "spicy" romance when platforms suppress erotic content, the wildly subjective nature of heat ratings, and her meticulous research into polyamory to create authentic relationship dynamics.

From her recursive drafting process to using a "naughty words" thesaurus, Imogen shares the nitty-gritty details of crafting explicit scenes while balancing entertainment with subtle education. She explores the evolution of cozy romance toward more explicit content and debates whether fiction should teach readers about anatomy and consent—or simply provide escapist entertainment.

**Ready to dive into the world of authentic polyamorous romance?** Listen to discover how one author is reshaping the genre with realistic characters, thoughtful consent, and unapologetically explicit storytelling.

Key Takeaways:

• Erotic romance faces significant marketing barriers—heat ratings and content warnings can severely limit discoverability.
• She pairs a cozy, “sweet‑and‑spicy” vibe with explicit group sex and polyamory, doing detailed research to portray realistic consent.
• Imogen only started writing impulsively in 2022, drafts as a hybrid plotter‑pantser, and has had to accept she can’t please everyone.
