We’re back with our friend K Wish (aka Kelly), a Wellington-based dark romance author and the mind behind the Hidden Valley series. In this episode, we chat about her books, what’s coming next, and the behind-the-scenes world of self-publishing in Aotearoa.

We go deep on the themes woven into her stories, the messy, complex characters, and the unexpected sisterhood that’s come from putting her work into the world.

If you love dark romance, author insider knowledge, or just a good yarn with women doing their own thing—this one's for you.

We cover:
🖤 The deeper meaning behind the Hidden Valley series
💔 Characters who are flawed, fierce, and unforgettable
📖 What’s next in Kelly’s writing world
💬 The power of friendship + women supporting women in the indie author space
