Welcome to Audiobook Cafe.

I want to start with Detective Vanti because it's your most recent release.

And this is a good old fashioned murder mystery a la Agatha Christie, which is interesting because before all of your books were romantic comedies.

So I'm wondering why the change?

So after your first book, your publishers and your publicists gave you the advice to continue writing rom-coms.

Did they?

recommend that to you?

Did they make it as a suggestion?

Or did they tell you?

I'm curious.

Now, Detective Auntie, can you tell us more about the book, what the plot is and what people can expect?

Now, auntie is a word that carries a lot of different meanings.

Can you unpack that?

Koser specifically as a character is hilarious because she's very nosy.

She's not super gossipy.

She's not out there talking about all the happenings with everyone.

she's just like acquiring all sorts of information very Poirot-esque like from Agatha Christie but what I find most funny is that she really enjoys the whole investigation part of it like she and her white lady friend may really enjoy like sort of playing at investigation which I find super wholesome like even despite the whole tragedy that's going on they're still finding a way to be like this is kind of cool isn't it which I could not help but forget such a kick out of that

Now, Koser, does she live up to the stereotypes of auntie?

Because I've told the premise of this book to a couple of people and people are like, that sounds awesome.

Aunties are hilarious.
