Explore the World of Fantasy with Mariah Montoya in this exclusive Interview

Posted on 1st Dec 20251st Dec 2025 by Letty Reads

I’m not sure if you’re all aware, but this year I discovered one of my all-time favourite fantasy series, thanks to my wonderful friend Roni, who recommended it to me. This was not only a new series but a new author to me. One who has now become an auto-buy author! So I decided to pull up my big girl pants and slide my behind into her DMs to ask if she would be down for an interview. I was so nervous, but when she replied saying yes…guys, I felt so giddy!! I mean, the title has given away who it is already, but I’m so super happy to have the wonderful Mariah Montoya on my blog 🙂 By the Orchid and the Owl may be one of my all-time favourite fantasy worlds!

So let’s get to it!

Meet Luna Peters: A Rising Star in Romance Fiction

Posted on 1st Nov 20251st Dec 2025 by Letty Reads

For all my author interviews so far, I have slid into authors’ DMs, and each time, I have been terrified of rejection. This time, I had the beautiful Luna Peters contact me through the contact form on my blog to ask if I was willing to interview a baby author, and too bloody right I am! I got so giddy that she wanted to be on my blog, not even gonna lie, I did a little happy dance and smiled like an absolute tool.

I had a little stalk of Luna’s social media profiles, which is normal, right?

I haven’t yet read Luna’s books, so this interview was super exciting for me. I had a gander at her socials and then compiled my questions. I then went to AATA, and Luna was there, which was absolutely awesome that I got to meet her.

An Interview with Nikki J Summers: The Author Who Sparked My Love for Dark Romance

Posted on 2nd Oct 20251st Nov 2025 by Letty Reads

Each month, I try and interview a new author. This month, I reached out to Nikki J Summer. Nikki is a lovely person, she is also a dark romance author, and her book, The Taskmaster, is being released this month! I will give you a little bit about The Taskmaster at the end.

Fun fact, Nikki’s book The Psycho was my first ever dark romance book, it was pretty much my first romance book too, I think. Well, I read Twilight in my teens, but other than that and fanfiction, it was my foot in the door of the romance genre, especially dark romance. Now here we are, a few years later, with 3 bookshelves full of romance books and a Kindle with plenty of unhinged spicy books on it. I have zero regrets, but just so you know, Nikki, I blame you for my obsession, since it started with you 😆

Without further ado, let’s jump into it ☺️

Meet C.J. Riggs: Hilarious Author of Erotic Horror

Posted on 1st Aug 20251st Sep 2025 by Letty Reads

After interviewing Kinsley and Harleigh, I knew I wanted to interview more authors. I knew I wanted C.J. Riggs to be my next interview because this woman has had me laughing out loud with her funny videos and commentary. I have legit choked on a drink watching Riggs’ TikTok video! Not only is she hilarious, but the first book I ever read by her blew my mind to pieces! I fell in love with her writing, and I am making it my mission to read her full catalogue. I have 1 book I need to read. I am also attending AATA in October, and so is Riggs and I really want to meet her and get my books signed!

Obviously, I slid my arse into Riggs’ dms like I was practising for the cha cha slide. I was anxious, but she was so sweet when she responded, even though she was on her holidays, she took the time to respond to me which I thought was super sweet!

Without any more of my bullshit, let’s get to it 🙂

Exploring the Mind of Harleigh Beck: Horror, Romance, and Inspiration

Posted on 15th Jul 202515th Aug 2025 by Letty Reads

After my interview with Kinsley Kincaid, which you can read here. I knew I wanted to do more of them, and the first person to come to mind for another interview was Harleigh Beck. I am a huge fan of her work, and she is super sweet. My friends, after reading my interview with Kinsley, also said I should do more, and so I asked who they thought I should ask, and they also said Harleigh, I knew it had to be. I was anxious as hell sliding into Harleigh’s DMs to ask her which is daft because every time we have spoken, she is so kind and sweet, but hey, anxiety isn’t logical!
