October’s @readingby.candlelight Romance Book Box featured the lovely Emma Mugglestone and her friends-to-lovers rom-com In The Long Run — and now our interview is live! 🎧💛

In our cosy half-hour chat, we talk about :

🏃‍♀️ her love of running (and run-club romance energy)
🥐 matching her croissant jumper to her book (iconic)
💕 the joy and generosity of the romance writing community
📚 how she went from indie publishing to being commissioned by Penguin (!!)
✨ and the surprising role bestselling author @rachaeljohns played in the journey

“In The Long Run” has everything we love — pastries, fake dating, slow-bloom chemistry, and a run club that becomes the start line for something real.

Listen now and then go fall in love with Knox & Gen 🥐🏃‍♂️💘
