Between the Lines A New Podcast for Writers & Readers By Allison Beckert
B
etween The Lines: The Inside Scoop for Adoring Fans and Aspiring Authors, is the newest platform for some of the finest voices in clean romance and fiction. This crack team of authors share their friendship, expertise and interests with listeners for a peek into the minds of authors. While they are united in many of their interests, each shows off facets that make this group feel like a first-string team. At the core of the podcast are Sarah M. Eden, Traci Hunter Abramson, Esther Hatch and Sian Ann Bessey. In the first episodes, they introduce each other with hilarious (and apparently very accurate!) bios and a little about how they started and kept writing. Creativity isn’t easy to maintain alone, and their candid discussion is a hope-filled and encouraging voice for readers and writers. Between them, they have a list of awards a mile long for their works. Their talents are recognized across a dozen competitions and they hold their own among accomplished romance writers, lending their individual leanings of suspense,
historical and period fiction. Episodes so far include discussions on features of writing, author life, and sometimes fangirling about their favorite things like good readers do…a lot like their loyal readers do about their award-winning books! For lovers of the clean romance genre and readers looking for authors who are members of the Church, the guests on the podcast are a highlight reel of award-winning writers with works on the shelves, ready for a read. Some names already in their guest list include Sarah McConkie, Josi Kilpack and Regina Jennings. Between the Lines episodes launched for public listening in July of 2021, with the first few episodes setting a playful tone with the friendly group. For fans of their work, it’s a kind of meeting of the greats and a companionable crossover not to be missed. For those new to their writing, it’s an accessible and pleasant party to join, even without a background in their work. The podcast is produced by Covenant Communications and has their stamp of professionalism and excellence from the start. Each episode is
