Love, Laughter and a Microphone
Not Lovebirds, But On a Valentineās Podcast
On Thursday, 29 January 2026, Rush and I recorded the Valentineās Day episode of the Openhaus podcast.

From the moment we arrived, we felt at ease. Durga, the host, welcomed us, and her crew kept the session relaxed and focused. Itās one thing to be interviewed. Itās another to feel heard ā and we did.
Rush, my husband and the multitasker behind Picture the Book, peppered his answers with āWowā uncountable times. That was how much he enjoyed himself!
Weāre grateful to Writehaus for inviting us to be part of this Valentineās Day instalment. Sharing our work and our partnership in an episode about love felt right.

There was also a light moment. Rush called us ālovebirdsā⦠and I quickly disagreed. š
Either way, we enjoyed the conversation and the chance to tell our story. We canāt wait for you to hear the episode when itās out.
