Welcome to Undercurrents of Romance with host Tracey Devlyn!

In Episode 11 of Undercurrents of Romance, Tracey Devlyn sits down with debut author Holly Brickley to discuss her literary women’s fiction, DEEP CUTS.

Some connections spark instantly, but others take years to find their true rhythm. When opinionated music-lover Percy Marks meets aspiring songwriter Joe Morrow, their creative chemistry is undeniable—fueling a partnership that propels Joe to musical success while leaving Percy in his shadow.

Holly Brickley’s DEEP CUTS is a stunning, thought-provoking debut that charts a decade-long journey of music, ambition, and the tangled chords of the heart.

“Warm, nostalgic, totally engrossing. I loved this novel.”—Liz Moore, New York Times bestselling author of The God of the Woods
