Welcome back to Book Club in the Pub, your new favourite podcast where we discuss your favourite books with your favourite authors. Joining us for our fifth episode is Sunday Times Bestselling author Jennifer Delaney.

Delaney's deliciously gothic Romantasy TALES OF A MONSTROUS HEART published to rapturous acclaim and developed a dedicated following due to its haunting story about a woman whose magic threatens the systems of power, and the love she finds with an elusive lord in his magical manor... In this episode, Esmie and Jennifer Delaney talk about the realities and sacrifices that come with being an author in 2026, what you would do if you found yourself in your own plot, and what 'failure' really means. Jen reflects on the monumental achievement of writing a whole trilogy, as well as the wild ride of publishing a novel in this day and age.

The theme for today’s book club is ✨ Monsters and Demons.✨ Enjoy!🍻🎧🎙

Welcome back to Book Club in the Pub, your new favourite podcast where we discuss your favourite books with your favourite authors. Joining us for our fourth episode is none other than the fabulous E.S. Mcleod. Ella's book, ANDROMEDA, reclaims an ancient myth, and captures our hearts in the process. Tune in for a discussion about sapphic fantasy, writing from the margins, and why we all love a sexy villain. Ella dives deep into her source material, and dazzles with her pitch for this latest novel:

Blessed by the gods with unparalleled beauty, Andromeda lives a life of ease within her Aethiopian palace walls. Content with her sanctuary, the young princess has no concerns other than the royal expectations her parents have for her – until a single, fateful proclamation changes everything.

The theme for today’s book club is ✨ myth and magic.✨ Enjoy!

Welcome back to Book Club in the Pub, your new favourite podcast where we discuss your favourite books with your favourite authors, every other Tuesday. Joining us for our third episode is none other than #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St Clair! Scarlett's book, A Touch of Darkness, (the first in a SEVEN book series!) was a sensation that hooked readers, and started a career that is redefining what it means to be an author, particularly in the Romantasy space. She also just released a new book, to huge acclaim. It's so easy to see that success and think it happened overnight. But Scarlett's journey was full of a lot of grit and determination. We’ll be discussing her latest novel, TERROR AT THE GATES. A book about women who wield magic that is passed down female bloodlines, and the men that hide them from the world and steal their power.

The theme for today’s book club is ✨ female rage.✨ Enjoy!
