In this bonus episode, Kim sits down with her friend Tracy Baack, who has gone from reader to romance writer! They discuss how Tracy found her way into writing, the role of her faith in her storytelling, and why she chooses to write closed-door romances.
Tracy shares what makes this genre unique, the misconceptions people might have, and why it resonates with so many readers. We also talk about faith-driven relationships, the importance of emotional boundaries when reading romance, and what shapes the love stories she tells.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation about love, faith, and the power of storytelling to encourage single Christian women in their pursuit of meaningful relationships.
