A romance-based panel where the authors discuss how much is too much, or if that’s even option. What is so important about romance and why women can’t get enough of it. Also, why some men may need to read it. Haha. Panelists are Elle Backenstoe, L.M. Whiteley, and Catriona Drexler; J.L. Beers moderates.

Elle Backenstoe lives in Eastern Pennsylvania with her husband, son, and dog. She grew up with her nose buried in a book and sometimes emerges long enough to write some words of her own. She writes fantasy and romance, often together. Elle runs on pop punk music and Coke and will always choose sweet over salty. When she’s not reading or writing, you can find her at her home-away-from-home, the dance studio.

J.L. Beers is a local romance author, mother, wife, and educator. She spends any free time she has reading and/or writing romance novels. She is also a US Army veteran and neurodivergent. She supports indie authors and believes they should be explored more by readers.
