In this episode, GiGi Meier chats with prolific author Mike Geraghty, whose romantic thrillers—like the gripping small-town saga The Calm in the Storm—seamlessly blend heartfelt romance, Irish mythology, and edge-of-your-seat suspense. With over a dozen published works spanning motorcycle clubs, baseball series, and emotionally rich standalone stories, Mike’s storytelling is as versatile as it is compelling.

Mike pulls back the curtain on his writing world: how his Irish heritage fuels his Celtic Sisters trilogy and motorcycle series, why he champions underrated tropes like single dads, and his savvy approach to translations, going wide, and reclaiming book rights. He shares his passion for the Mets, his research-heavy process for crafting authentic settings, and the sprint-based writing techniques that keep his stories flowing.

Whether you’re a romance reader, aspiring author, or just love tales steeped in culture and danger, this conversation is packed with practical advice, behind-the-scenes trivia, and the kind of passion that reminds us why stories matter.
