Episode 95
Wednesday, 4 March, 2026
This week, I was joined by author Jayne Ann Krentz to talk about her recent release, The Shop on Hidden Lane.You might know her as Jayne Castle, if you’re familiar with her futuristic/paranormal romantic-suspense or Amanda Quick, if you know her historical romantic-suspense.The Shop on Hidden Lane is the most recent publication in Krentz 'decades-long career writing romance. In it, Sophy and Luke have to set aside their families’ generations-long feud so they can find their missing aunt and uncle. Krentz dives into what draws her to love stories like Sophy and Luke’s (hint: men who don’t cower in the presence of powerful women), and the importance of timelines in romantic-suspense - sometimes there’s spice on page 60 and that’s why we’re here! We also talked about what originally drew her to writing romance, how the landscape of romance publishing has changed in recent years, and how that helps it persist in the face of criticism.You can buy the book here:https://bookshop.org/a/54661/9798217187348You can learn more about Jayne here:https://jayneannkrentz.com/If you have an author, book, or topic you want to hear about on the podcast, then don't hesitate to slide into my DMs on Instagram or shoot me an email!Subscribe to my newsletter to keep up to date on the latest podcast happenings: https://in-bed-with-books.kit.com/76d11f1d51Where else to find me:IG: @inbedwithbookspodYT: https://www.youtube.com/@InBedWithBooksPodEM: inbedwithbookspodcast@gmail.com
