Laurie is joined by Stephanie Kusiak, a lesbian romance writer who realistically captures the humanizing elements of love and intimacy. Her debut novel, ‘Loved and Lost’ is a story about the transformative powers of a romantic relationship over a fifteen year span of her character’s life. Laurie and Stephanie discuss how this book is changing people’s lives on a daily basis – all kinds of people – straight, gay, and everything else! Not bad for a first book! They also discuss talking dirty, what makes a couple erotic and many other things.
