Part #2 of our chat with author @kdcaseywrites LUV: Are you part of an author community? If yes, how did you find it and what makes it valuable to you? KD: Yes! I am part of several author communities, in particular a community of Jewish romance writers and readers. I was invited by a friend (we have a Discord server), and the community has been absolutely crucial to my development as a reader and a writer. We talk about everything from writing to holidays to (of course) food. In particular, I’ve learned a lot more about Jewish culture and history (and I say this as someone who grew up fairly observant and went to Hebrew school). There’s a growing presence of Jewish books in romance, and I’m excited to see more. I began coming up with a list of Jewish releases for the year, but then I named one, then another, then… which is really a fantastic problem to have. I’d recommend following Bookishly Jewish (https://www.instagram.com/bookishlyjewish/) if you’re interested in following new releases.
