This week I'm talking with Australian bestselling author Jade May. Jade writes the Eden Series, high heat, angst filled romance that's sold over 10,000 copies worldwide. And she's landed press most authors only dream about. SMH. Mamamia. News.com.au. Herald Sun.

We get into the real story behind that coverage. Jade worked with a PR agency, and she walks us through what that actually looked like. What a publicist does day to day. What changed once she had one in her corner. And whether it's worth it for an author who's just starting to think about visibility.

We also talk about her move to Penguin with the Eden Series, what that partnership actually looks like behind the scenes, and the story she's so generously shared about writing through chronic illness, and what that's meant for her and for her readers.

And I'm so glad to share that Jade will be joining us at the Sunshine Coast Fiction Festival this year.
