In this episode we chat with indie author H.M Hodgson about blending witchy romance with pulse‑racing action, how she balances steamy scenes with plot, and the wonderfully weird research moments that end up in her books.
We talk writing routines, editing tips, slow‑burn heat (yes, there’s a cupboard scene and yes, Die Hard is a romance), and how real life, backyard chickens and all, sneaks into storytelling. It’s a warm, frank convo for readers and writers alike.
Come for the laughs, stay for the craft, this one feels like a chat with a mate who happens to write deliciously wild stories.
