This week on Spill the Spice, Veronica & Lizzy sit down with Kristina Carmela, indie author and creator of the Indieverse Awards. Together they dive into the origins of the awards, the importance of celebrating indie voices, and how transparency and inclusivity are shaping the future.
Kristina opens up about building community, balancing real life with creative pursuits, and how writing can become a path to healing, especially through themes of grief, loss, and found family. We also get a peek into her fictional world of Nelsonville, her upcoming romance Uncharted Territory, and the joy she’s found co-hosting the Indie Scribble Circle podcast.
This is a conversation about books, community, and the ways stories connect us all.
