In this episode of The Grumpy Sunshine Podcast, we welcome indie romance author Emme Goode to the show!
This time last year, Emme Goode was a couple of months away from being a debut author. Now, she has three published novels, one being edited, and another WIP in the works. Emme writes spicy contemporary romances with strong female leads and the men who worship them. All of her stories so far are set in the fictional Australian town, Heart City, which has truly taken on a life of its own.
Today, we’ll be talking about spice scenes! How to write them, how to infuse emotion and link them to character growth and plot. We’ll also delve into why spice scenes resonate with readers and why they’re important to the romance reading experience.
Enjoy!
