Bree, half of the romance writing duo Kit Rocha, is my guest! She shares her thoughts on why romance novels are all about power and if now is a good time to read dystopian fiction. We discuss A Conspiracy of Whispers by Ada Harper, a romance with intriguing world building, a discussion of gender roles told through genetically modified dispositions, and a wary heroine who learns how to use her broken pieces to stab her enemies.

Guest: Bree from Kit Rocha
We Read:
*A Conspiracy of Whispers* by Ada Harper
Modern Romance Canon Nomination
*A Duke by Default* by Alyssa Cole
Notes:
Intersectionality Matters with Kimberle Crenshaw, Under the Blacklight series
Bree recommended Ann Aguirre's Jax series, which begins with Grimspace, as a good sci-fi romance cross-over.
Ada Harper also writes Sci-fi (not romance) as AJ Hackwith - Check out The Library of the Unwritten.
Also, I mentioned episode 045 when I was talking about people in power punching down. Episode 045 with Katrina Jackson, Rebekah Weatherspoon, and Felicia Grossman just came out, so if you haven't listened yet it's a good companion episode.
