Author: Matthew Gray - 50TastesOfGray October 5, 2025 Duration: 44:27

“Infidelity Rules” is Joelle Babula’s unapologetic guide to desire, danger, and emotional arson. Quinn doesn’t ask permission. She sips the wine, breaks the rules, and devours you like dessert.

Host Matthew Gray reveals Joelle with precision—showcasing the mind, personality, and tasting notes of an author who burns the rulebook and never looks back.

In this engaging conversation, the author discusses her debut novel 'Infidelity Rules,' exploring themes of desire, relationships, and the complexities of infidelity.

The protagonist, Quinn Davis, is a bold character navigating her career and personal life while adhering to her own set of rules regarding love and commitment.

The discussion also delves into the importance of author visibility, the role of food and wine in storytelling, and the author's background as a nurse practitioner and former journalist, which informs her writing process.

The conversation concludes with reflections on reader engagement and the potential for future works.

This episode of 50 Tastes Of Gray dives into unapologetic desire, seductive chaos, and the kind of trouble you don’t recover from.

🔥 Featuring Quinn Davis: six feet of temptation wrapped in emotional Kevlar. 🎧 Listen. Watch. Don’t ask forgiveness. Ask for more.

Aloha from Hawaii! I’m Matthew Gray, a lifelong chef and radio guy, and this is 50 Tastes Of Gray. Think of this podcast as a long, comfortable table where smart conversation is always on the menu. Each episode is built around a generous helping of stories and laughter, served with genuine warmth, a sharp wit, and just a dash of mischief. I sit down with fascinating people from all corners of the creative world-chefs, artists, musicians, thinkers, and anyone with a compelling story about how they live. Naturally, we talk about flavor and food, but the discussion always expands to explore what truly feeds the soul: curiosity, creativity, and the messy, beautiful connections that define our relationships and culture. You'll hear unexpected insights that blend the arts, comedy, and observations on society, all flowing from relaxed, in-depth chats. This isn't a lecture or an interview checklist; it's the kind of talk that happens when interesting people are given the space to dig into what matters, finding the humor and humanity in everything from a perfect meal to a life-changing idea. Tune in for a podcast that feels like a great dinner party-nourishing, unpredictable, and deeply human.
