We’re excited to welcome Alys Murray to the podcast! Alys is a three-time international bestselling romance author and a screenwriter/director who tells hopeful, love-centered stories across formats—film, television, and novels. Alys also brings her fandom brain to the page, including her StarTrek.com essay on Janeway, “Fair Haven,” and romantic storytelling. Her next book, A Little Buzzed, lands February 17, 2026—and we’re thrilled to talk craft, fandom, and why romance belongs everywhere.
