Summary

Welcome back to Gilmore To Read! This month, I'm talking to Riss M Neilson, the author of Reading Is Sexy's July pick A Love Like The Sun. She's the author of two young adult novels, now an adult romance and a lover of Gilmore Girls just like you! In this episode, we talk about writing young adult versus adult romance, how fanfiction can shape an author, what her teenage daughter thinks about the show (cue mother/daughter sweetness!!!) and of course why she wrote such a hot male lead in the midst of a chronically ill heroine's journey. I hope you enjoy, book besties! The next episode will feature Jessica Joyce talking about her newest release, The Ex Vows, which is Reading Is Sexy's pick for August.

0:00.0	I am here because I enjoy books and because I read books, and I think that's true of you too.
0:12.9	Hi y'all, welcome back to Gailmore to Read. I'm your host, Haley, and I'm so glad to see you
0:17.1	today, and I hope you're glad to see me because we had a refresh in our artwork.
0:21.5	We rebranded the whole podcast this last month to not only Gilmore to say, but every segment
0:26.2	of the podcast now has its own beautiful cover to differentiate it, including Gilmore to
0:31.2	read. So if you have no idea what I look like, you can now see me on the cover of Gilmore
0:36.2	to read looking like a hot sexy librarian,
0:38.4	which is honestly my dream job. I've said this before. I really do think that being the hot librarian
0:43.4	at Stars Hollow Library would be exactly what I want for my life. And so rather than the reality of me
0:49.8	recording this in oversized linen pants at the moment. Imagine I look exactly like that every
0:55.1	single time I record the podcast. But I liked it because it felt like a little bit of Chilton vibes,
0:59.8	a little bit of fall vibes. I have some cute books. The title, while still being in line with
1:06.2	the Gilmore to Say title, also has like a little nod to Star Stars Hollow Books and the logo of Stars
1:12.1	Hollow Books in town, the one little banner that hangs over the shop that we see in
1:17.3	the background of a lot of scenes. We really love how it turned out and I hope that you do too.
1:21.6	But before I get into today's episode, I want to talk about the format of Gilmore True
1:25.4	Reeds episodes. I don't know if I've ever explicitly talked about this before, but if you do not read the book that each episode is
1:32.0	dedicated to, you can still listen to the episode in part because all of them are structured
1:35.8	exactly the same so that you know what is coming your way. I always start with talking about the
1:40.1	author of what's going on in their life, what their writing processes, what inspired them, sort of just generally talking about them before we dive into their Gilmore Girls' opinions,
1:48.3	and every single author has had varying Gilmore Girls' opinions, but every single one of
1:52.4	them has had very specific ones before we dive into a spoiler chat about the book.
