	Description:		Years ago, when Rachel Reid finished her first manuscript, she didn’t tell anyone she was submitting it for publication. But that was before the runaway success of her queer hockey romance book, Heated Rivalry. Now, the Nova Scotia author is finding it harder to work quietly. She joins guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about the complex hockey fandom that inspired Heated Rivalry, the TV adaptation that turned into a global phenomenon, and her progress on Unrivaled — the next book in the series. If you like this conversation, check out Tom Power’s interview with Heated Rivalry creator Jacob Tierney on the joy of gay, smutty TV.
