Interview with Hannah Currie: Writing Royalty, Chronic Illness, and Romance with Purpose


Listen Later

This episode dives deep into the heart behind Hannah Currie’s medieval Christian romance series Crown of Promise. Hannah shares how a life-altering diagnosis rerouted her missionary dreams and unexpectedly opened the door to storytelling that ministers across the globe. From princesses struggling with hidden pain to heroes who would give up kingdoms for love, Hannah reveals how her characters reflect both her personal battles and her unshakable faith. We talk about chronic illness, writing vulnerable characters, and the beauty of romance rooted in God’s love. If you’ve ever felt unseen or wondered how God could use your brokenness, this one’s for you.

Meet Hannah Currie

Australian author, Hannah Currie, loves God, family, people (in small numbers, let’s not go crazy here!) and writing. A book nerd from birth, she knows firsthand the difference a good book can make in a person’s life. Even, and especially, fiction. Her dream as a writer is to make people laugh, cry and maybe even swoon a little but mostly to remind them that no matter how dark life may get at times, because of God, there is always hope. 

She and her husband live with their three adorable kids in sunny Queensland, where it really is beautiful one day and perfect the next. Except, maybe, during heatwaves. They’re not so fun.

    Hannah’s Book: Hold Her Close (Crown of Promise Series)

    Firstborn of King Lior and heir to the throne of Raedonleith, Lady Rose has always known what was expected of her—marry a prince, bear a child, continue the royal line. None of that involved confirmation weeks before her wedding that she’s barren. Nor her betrothed deserting her at the news. Through years of pain, bleeding and loss, her faith has kept her strong but this last blow strikes deep into her spirit. Rose knew she was broken. Now the rest of Raedonleith will too.

    More comfortable amid books than battles, Prince Nicholas of Belairisia is as surprised as anyone when he claims Lady Rose’s hand for himself upon first meeting. In front of every noble in Raedonleith. But neither does he regret it. Though it’s impulsive and out of character for the studious prince, there’s something in Rose’s fragile beauty that captivates Nicholas. She’s the treasure he’s searched his whole life to find. Armed with patience and hope, Nicholas determines to wait as long as it takes to prove his devotion.

    But when an attempt on Rose’s life forces King Lior’s hand, the two are thrust into a marriage neither of them are prepared for, and a journey through enemy territory which may end the relationship before it’s barely begun.
