The Fresh Fiction Podcast is brought to you by REVELL BOOKS and BETHANY HOUSE, publishers of the new books THE THEORY OF HAPPILY EVERY AFTER by Kristin Billerbeck. On today’s episode I’m joined by Kristin, who is back with a new book after a four year hiatus. We talked about finding her voice in the chick-lit genre, her love of Bridget Jones, and how neither of us can wait for the new season of POLDARK (premiering September 30th on PBS).   We’re still growing, so please help us out by subscribing and rating the podcast, leaving a comment, or even just sharing it on social media. You can find us on twitter, Instagram, and on Facebook. I’ll be back next time with something new to watch, read, and listen to!   THE THEORY OF HAPPILY EVER AFTER by Kristin Billerbeck    According to Dr. Maggie Maguire, happiness is serious science, as serious as Maggie takes herself. But science can't always account for life's anomalies--for instance, why her fiancé dumped her for a silk-scarf acrobat and how the breakup sent Maggie spiraling into an extended ice cream-fueled chick flick binge.   Concerned that she might never pull herself out of this nosedive, Maggie's friends book her as a speaker on a "New Year, New You" cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. Maggie wonders if she's qualified to teach others about happiness when she can't muster up any for herself. But when a handsome stranger on board insists that smart women can't ever be happy, Maggie sets out to prove him wrong. Along the way she may discover that happiness has far less to do with the head than with the heart.   Filled with memorable characters, snappy dialogue, and touching romance, Kristin Billerbeck's THE THEORY OF HAPPILY EVER AFTER shows that the search for happiness may be futile--because sometimes happiness is already out there searching for you.

Episode 0109: Interview with Kristin Billerbeck

When Kristin Billerbeck, author of The Theory of Happily Ever After, proudly insisted during this interview, "I refuse to back away from the chick lit title" for her genre of books, my heart did a little happy dance! I love chick lit, and I love Kristin's books. :-DShe said that the first time she wrote a chapter of Christian chick lit, her friend and fellow author Colleen Coble told her, "Kristin, this is your voice, you have to do this." Kristin contends that there is definitely a difference between romantic comedy and chick lit, despite what we may hear publishers do or don't want want to call this type of storytelling. Readers know what they like, and they're happy to keep looking for it under the chick lit name.What follows in this charming interview is Kristin's experience writing sweet romance versus chick lit, the backlash that followed her first (award-winning!) chick lit book (What a Girl Wants, book one of the Ashley Stockingdale series), and how her own life experiences have influenced her storytelling choices.Listen and feel refreshed and inspired to get back to your own writing!
