Tessa Bailey Podcast Interview
This was such a treat for us! Tessa is one of the authors that we have revisited twice because Bridget loved her dirty talk and great characters so much from S3’s Heat Stroke. We were thrilled to get her on the podcast to talk to us!
Of course, we dove right into how she writes such hot books, as well as talking through how she writes her series, and she gave us an exclusive on an idea she wanted to try out and since she said it on the podcast, it’s now gonna happen!
WE HIT SO MANY FUN TOPICS:
Tessa’s hilarious adventures in her IG Stories.
How Tessa balances the feels and the naughty in her books
EW called her the “Michelangelo of dirty talk”
How Tessa is just like us and she would jump to the sex scenes in the bookstore.
Why she feels like a little objectification in a sex scene in a book with consenting adults can be really hot. You’re not a mom, your not a whatever your job is, you are just a sexual being in that moment.
Hot and Hammered series
Tools of Engagement - Book 3 came out on Sept 22nd
Working with editors at multiple different publishers until she found the right fit.
How Tessa said out loud she wanted to write a paranormal romance at a romance conference and then she went and did it!
EXCLUSIVE!
She told us out loud she wants to write another series!
Bridget gives Tessa permission to never do merch (Bridget just wants more books!)
We talked about MM romance and how/if Tessa made a conscious decision to write both MF and MM romance.
Tessa said she just writes the characters the way she feels them and if that means they are LGBTQ then she writes that character their own book the way she’d write any other character in her books.
Tessa talks about growing up in Southern California and how now that she’s been in Long Beach, NY for 16 years she can’t imagine living in California anymore.
Shani calls out Bridget’s husband for even thinking he could ever live anywhere without flip flops.
