225. Romance Legacies: An Interview with Two of Edith Layton’s Children, Susie and Adam Felber

Summary: Susie and Adam Felber join Sarah to talk about their mother, historical romance author Edith Layton, who died in 2009. They discuss her path to publication, what it was like seeing their mom meet her romance readers at conventions, and which villains and rock stars were the basis for some famous Layton heroes. They also cover whether gall stones look like opals (true story), and talk about their work to bring mother’s literary legacy into the digital age. You might recognize voices, too. Adam Felber is a regular on NPR’s Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me. And, so he wouldn’t feel too far from his radio home, Susie and I surprised him with a “Not my Job” style quiz.
