This week, Gare and I talk with Olivia Worley about her new horror-thriller Man of My Dreams!

Listen to hear about:

How Olivia's real-life dating experiences—and meeting a man eerily similar to a character she had already written—inspired the premise of Man of My Dreams

A deep dive into blending rom-coms with psychological thrillers, why modern dating is the perfect backdrop for suspense, and how Olivia carefully balances romance with increasingly dark twists

Writing morally complicated women, the thrill of surprising readers, and why some of the most compelling stories happen when romance and danger collide
