What’s Something Most People Don’t Know About Me?

If you asked Chat Ludlow, the commanding king of the dark Fae and richest man on Earth, what most people don’t know about him, he’d probably smirk and say, “Everything. They only see what I let them.”

That, my friends, is what I’m aiming for here—a little mystery, a little intrigue, and a lot of fun.

So, what’s something most people don’t know about me?

Well, I’m not just a dark romance enthusiast—oh no. I’ve got layers, much like Chat’s intricate plans to make Belle his forever (cue the swoon).

My Secret Obsession? Dark Romance Audiobooks 🎧

Yup, you read that right. While I live for crafting my own sizzling stories, I’ve got another obsession that’s just as intense: dark romance audiobooks. And not just any narrators will do—no, no.

My go-tos are the deliciously deep voices of Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton.

There’s something about the way they bring the tension, passion, and raw emotion of a story to life that keeps me hooked for hours.

Think of it as the Chat Ludlow experience—dangerous, seductive, and oh-so-intoxicating. Much like Belle, I can’t help but swoon every time those voices take over my headphones.

Just like how Chat’s deep, commanding voice sends Belle into a fluster, audiobooks narrated by these legends have the power to take any romance to the next level.

If you’re not already obsessed, trust me—you’re missing out on the ultimate audio romance experience.

Why Audiobooks? Because They Let You Escape.

Life, much like the worlds Chat and Belle navigate, can get overwhelming.

Between work, life, and the chaos in between, we all need a way to escape. And for me, that’s pressing play on a dark romance audiobook and letting those velvety voices take me into another world.

It’s a bit like falling headfirst into one of Chat’s steamy power games—except this time, it’s Aiden Snow telling me all the dirty details, and I don’t have to lift a finger.

When you listen to Aiden Snow or Teddy Hamilton, it’s like having your very own Chat Ludlow right in your ear, whispering all those dangerously sweet nothings.

What’s not to love? You can dive into a world of Fae kings, ruthless CEOs, and unrelenting passion—all while folding your laundry (because multitasking is key, am I right?).

Everyone loves a good escape.

Whether you’re listening to a podcast or, like me, you’re falling for a brooding fictional alpha on audio, there’s something magical about immersive experiences.

What This Says About Me (and Chat)

Now, I know what you’re thinking—What does an obsession with dark romance audiobooks have to do with writing or being Chat Ludlow’s obsession?

Well, everything, actually. People expect you to be a certain way based on what you create, but there’s always more beneath the surface.

For example, Chat may come off as a dominant, ruthless man in control of everything, but underneath it all, he’s fiercely in love with Belle—someone who softens his edges and makes him vulnerable.

Similarly, when I’m not writing, I’m melting into the worlds created by my favourite narrators, where love, danger, and passion intertwine in a way that’s just so satisfying.

Your Turn: What Don’t People Know About You?

Okay, now it’s your turn. I’ve spilled my secret—dark romance audiobooks narrated by the dreamy Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton. Chef’s kiss, right?

What’s something about you that people don’t expect?

Do you also escape into stories when life gets overwhelming, or is there another secret passion you’re hiding?

Drop a comment below and tell me your favourite audiobook narrator or what surprising hobby you’re obsessed with.

You never know—you might just find a fellow audiobook addict (and I’ll definitely be here fangirling alongside you).

What's up, Baddie Beans!

Are you feeling tired? Why not sprawl on your couch and then listen to a few minutes of an audiobook. Remember to slow down when things get overwhelming. #Unwind #Advice

Welcome back, Baddie Beans!

For a calm kind of day, take yourself out for lunch or a picnic and read a reflective poem. Remember to slow down when things get overwhelming. #Unwind #Advice

After a long, demanding day, I’ve learned that unwinding is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. A quiet moment, a warm drink, and a little stillness can change everything. How do you relax at the end of your day? ✨

Be kind, please unwind… Weekly Recap 4/20/2026

Does anyone remember renting movies?

No, no… I don’t mean “renting” a temporary streaming copy. I’m talking about physical movies.

And not DVD’s or Blu-rays. Like… a VHS tape.

Tapes had to be rewound before you could watch them again. You were supposed to rewind your rented videos before returning them to the rental company. And if you didn’t, they probably charged you a fee.

Anyway, some rental companies would put stickers on the VHS that reminded you of this duty. They’d say something like “Be kind, please rewind.”

I’m stealing that slogan today with a slight modification. I’ve changed “rewind” to “unwind.”

Because unwinding at the end of a long day is kind to the self.

And when I unwind, I tend to watch old reruns of Star Trek. What do you do?

Good morning and happy Monday, friends!

• New Post: Written Highlights from Kirk White’s Interview

This weekend has been filled with travel. The general plan was… wake up around 5am one day, drive to Miami, hop on a plane to Boston, rent a car, and drive to Rhode Island. Certainly seems like a roundabout way to get to a destination, I know, but it was (by far) cheaper than flying directly there.

We’ve got a teenager who needed to visit a college.

Anyway, I’m sitting here in a Boston hotel writing this. We’ll fly back home at some point tomorrow (or as you read this: today).

It’s been a fun trip. Let me show you some highlights.

This pineapple arch is at the entrance to one of Providence’s strips of nightlife.

Some people say it looks like a pinecone. I’m pretty sure it’s a pineapple. Regardless, we went there to get dinner.

We just randomly picked the restaurant, so I was not expecting such spectacular food. Holy smokes, we found a winner: Trattoria Appia. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll definitely be returning. Best bread pudding (and I do not say that lightly) that I’ve had in years.

Tons of daffodils everywhere. I guess New Englanders love daffodils.

And we met a local turkey. This guy thought he was a king.

I’ve been achieving maximum nostalgia by replaying classic games from my childhood. You may have seen that in recent months, I once again became a Pokemon master. Now I’m on a quest to save the land of Hyrule. Don’t worry, friends, I have the Master Sword. Victory will soon be at hand.

Come on, I need something to do at 3am in hotels.

Back in Boston, we walked around the grounds at Harvard. These are two random buildings that I took pictures of. I don’t know what they are, but one of them had a bell tower.

After a short walk, we decided to culture ourselves, so we stopped in at the Harvard Art Museum. There was a giant installation hanging from the ceiling of large, musical triangles.

They also had a Celtic art exhibit, which was pretty cool. Maybe I’ll put up some pictures later. There were golden torcs.

From there, we headed to the New England Aquarium.

Did I mention it was rainy and foggy? We could barely even see the city on the drive in. Here’s a picture of Boston Harbor.

Before the aquarium, we grabbed a lobster roll. After all, how could we visit Boston without getting a lobster roll?

And then we saw penguins.

There was plenty more that happened in the week, but at the moment, I’m pretty wiped. We have more driving and flying ahead of us.

That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more soon!

1. The Spicy Spectacle

You pride yourself on your tolerance for heat, so when the friendly street vendor in Bangkok offers you a taste of their “mild” curry, you confidently accept with a smile. But as the first fiery bite hits your tongue like a flamethrower in a chili factory, you quickly realize that you may have underestimated the true meaning of “Thai spicy.” Cue the frantic gulps of water and the impromptu fire-breathing performance that leaves your fellow diners both impressed and slightly concerned for your well-being.

2. The Mystery Meat Mishap

You’re feeling adventurous, so when the menu at that quaint little bistro in Paris lists “escargot” as the house specialty, you decide to throw caution to the wind and give it a try. But as you take your first tentative bite of the slimy delicacy, you can’t shake the sinking feeling that you may have just eaten something that was alive mere moments ago. Cue the existential crisis and the fervent vow to stick to more familiar fare for the remainder of your culinary adventures.

3. The Cultural Conundrum

You’re determined to immerse yourself in the local culture, so when your gracious host in Tokyo presents you with a steaming bowl of what can only be described as “mystery soup,” you graciously accept with a smile and a bow. But as you tentatively take a sip and try to identify the various unidentifiable floating objects, you realize that sometimes, cultural immersion comes with a side of gastrointestinal distress. Cue the polite nods and the silent prayers for a speedy recovery as you struggle to maintain your composure in the face of culinary adversity.

4. The Street Food Fiasco

You’ve heard rave reviews about the street food scene in Marrakech, so when you stumble upon a bustling market teeming with tantalizing smells and exotic flavors, you can’t resist the siren call of the street vendors. But as you dig into your first bite of falafel, you quickly realize that street food adventures come with their own set of risks – namely, the inevitable battle with food poisoning that leaves you regretting every culinary decision you’ve ever made.
