Episode 181 / Contemporary romance author Catharina Maura shares how she combined her favorite trope, marriage of convenience, with lessons she learned writing her early books to create a best-selling series.

We also delve into why marketing is an extension of storytelling, why you don’t have to do everything yourself, and how to keep readers thinking about your books and talking about them, using bonus material and a drip campaign.
