Today's interview is with Rachel Kurzius, a talented reporter and an early fan of the books. Rachel's article about romance books featuring Heated Rivalry was credited by Jacob Tierney as the reason he reached out for film rights to the books, and her appearance on NPR's Weekend Edition led to her being quoted on the front of the new Heated Rivalry covers! THANK YOU for joining us for this project, we were SO thrilled to have you!
