In this episode, Kate and Laura chat with New Zealand indie author Colette Rivera, who has over ten published books, all set in paranormal worlds of her making.
Come along as we pick Colette's brain about writing queer romances, relationship dynamics, world-building, and how to manage paranormal rules and lore with creativity.
Colette's upcoming release, Her Ghosty Embrace, is an FF paranormal romance about two women who have had enough and will stop at nothing to get their happily ever after. And vengeance. This is the first book in the Lockwood Coven series, a group of interconnected, stand-alone novels. Pre-order now, or read it on May 4, 2026!
