What Makes a Story Truly Magical w/ Sierra Simone | Talk Spicy to Me Ep. 8

Welcome to Talk Spicy to Me: A podcast where two bestselling authors go rogue and talk all things romance: the good, the bad, the unbearably hot, and everything in between. In Episode 9, It's Giving Magic, we're hanging out with the one and only Sierra Simone to talk about books that just have that thing. You know, the ones that feel a little enchanted and stick with you long after you finish them. We get into everything from indie vs. trad publishing and taking creative risks to sisterhood, super fans, and what really makes a story feel magical. Spice Report: • Kandi – Sabrina Carpenter's new song • Sierra – custom embroidery on the Ariana Grande Wicked moment • Giana – audiobook "it's not hysterical" Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Talk Spicy to Me 02:10 – It's Giving Magic with Sierra Simone 06:10 – The Spice Report 19:26 – What Makes a Book Magical 34:58 – Sisterhood, Support & Super Fans 01:18:07 – Green Flag / Red Flag: Sexual Punishments 💬 Got a question you'd like us to answer on the podcast?
