Hey, Ask a Bad-A-Badass, the episode where we spotlight listeners to ask about their love of romance

and all the other zainy things y'all crave.

Before we start, we've got a special treat for you. On Monday, April 13th, I'm joined by Katie Robert, author of Deep Feels and scandalously delicious smut. To recap the mummy. This is especially fortuitous because Katie has pushed up her release date of the next installment of her Wicked Villain series.

Make sure you pre-order The Beast Now because it comes out on April 13th as well. And now we've got a woman of

and now we've got a woman of indomitable spirit, Aisha.

She's a Harry Potter shipper who's also read everything Lisa Clafis has ever written.

A swearing mom who manages to be a superhero without caffeine,

a lover of all tropes, and a person after my own heart, preferring her spice level at Burn Your Face Off.

Here we go. Hi, Asha.

Asha. Hi Natalie. I'm so excited for this. So HBs, I'm here with As Asha and she is one of our UK H.B. So she is talking to me in the middle of the night.

And I am thankful for her service. You should also be thankful for her service.

Well, this is the first time I've recorded with somebody that's in a different

continent.

Everyone has been in Canada or the US.

And so I had this is the first time we've had this you know like time zone

issue which you're just like no problem I'll just do it in the middle of the night I

would not be nearly as nice as you if it was a situation. I'd be like no work your schedule around me okay?

Because you have to like get up and be a mom tomorrow right?

Yes I do but I kind of when I like first said oh yeah I'll do the

ask about I kind of guess that this is how it would be the time difference is quite

extreme. I'm a cousin who lives in Utah and I think that's like 10 hour time

difference I'm kind of used to kind of negotiating the time difference or whatever.
