Welcome back to Book Club in the Pub, your new favourite podcast where we discuss your favourite books with your favourite authors. Joining us for our fifth episode is Sunday Times Bestselling author Jennifer Delaney.

Delaney's deliciously gothic Romantasy TALES OF A MONSTROUS HEART published to rapturous acclaim and developed a dedicated following due to its haunting story about a woman whose magic threatens the systems of power, and the love she finds with an elusive lord in his magical manor... In this episode, Esmie and Jennifer Delaney talk about the realities and sacrifices that come with being an author in 2026, what you would do if you found yourself in your own plot, and what 'failure' really means. Jen reflects on the monumental achievement of writing a whole trilogy, as well as the wild ride of publishing a novel in this day and age.

The theme for today’s book club is ✨ Monsters and Demons.✨ Enjoy!🍻🎧🎙
