Big Family, Bigger Love Stories: Amy Award on The Cocky Kingmans
About this episode
Samantha Tennant interviews author Amy Award about her contemporary romance series and the inspirations behind her writing.
This week on the Fresh Fiction Podcast, Samantha Tennant sits down with author Amy Award to talk about her bestselling contemporary romance series, THE COCKY KINGMANS. Inspired by her own football-obsessed Nebraska childhood and a real-life family of eight siblings, Amy built a world of six brothers, each one falling for a heroine who is curvy, confident, and never treated as an afterthought. IN THIS CONVERSATION, AMY AND SAMANTHA DIG INTO: ● Why body positivity had to be part of the story, without becoming the whole story ● The real-life inspiration behind Declan and Kelsey’s fake-dating storyline, and a certain pop star who may be borrowing her plots ● How writing as A.D. Ward let her build a paranormal universe of dragons and shifters that quietly overlaps with the Kingmans world ● Her newest release, THE TIGER IN THE SACK, and the upcoming prequel, THE LION IN THE LIBRARY Plus, in this week’s Fresh Fiction Facts, Amy shares her go-to writing snack, her wildly specific teapot collection, and the one classic novel she will not defend.
