Season 1, Episode 1 of GUILD: A Diverse Fiction Podcast features an author interview of Cara North, who also reads from her dark reverse harem romance HARPY, hosted by Zelda Knight.
In this podcast episode, we talk about:
- “Orgasm Punishment”
- Cara’s muse Jake Gyllenhaal
- The borders of young adult, new adult, and adult
- Writing on new pen names as your characters age so that they can age along with the audience
- Infusing personal politics into romance (ex. non-con, feminism, mental health awareness, PTSD post-military service, and being from a poor economic background)

ABOUT THE NOVEL
HARPY: A DARK RH ROMANCE
It's really difficult to bully someone when they want it. I always want it. And so much more.
Could one man provide? Not when what I want is more than one man.
They try to control me. They try to manipulate me.
I'm young, not dumb, and when the darkest of these princes takes a real interest, it's time to level up.
He thinks because he's from a crime family he's wicked. Then he meets me, calls me the devil. He might be right because I don't just want their bodies, I want their hearts, their souls, and I intend to get everything I want.
One way or another.
Content Warning: This is a dark, erotic, new adult, contemporary, reverse harem romance which means there is bullying, dub-con, and multiple partners at once.
