I first heard about When the Stars Entwine with Flames from a friend, and I was instantly hooked on the concept—so having Alex on the podcast was simply meant to be.
In this episode, we dive into the magic of Romantasy—why readers can’t get enough of it and how it’s shaping the genre. Alex shares her writing journey, the challenges she’s faced, and why diversity in storytelling is more important than ever. We also break down the costs of self-publishing vs. traditional publishing and, of course, the ultimate dream—going viral on BookTok.
As Harry Styles wisely said, “Treat people with kindness.” And honestly, how boring would the world be if we were all the same?
Spoiler warnings: ACOTAR, Crescent City, TOG, Fourth Wing, Phantasma.
