Love, Indie is a podcast dedicated to indie romance, indie authors, and the community that believes in love stories—messy ones, hopeful ones, and everything in between.

Hosted by Staci Hicks, owner of Romance-Landia (a romance-only indie bookstore), Love, Indie is a love letter to the books that carry us through hard seasons, the authors who dare to tell these stories, and the readers who show up again and again for happily-ever-afters.

Each episode dives into honest conversations about reading, writing, indie publishing, bookish burnout, reading slumps, big wins, quiet struggles, and the magic that happens when romance readers find their people. You’ll hear solo chats, behind-the-scenes moments from bookstore life, and interviews with indie romance authors who are shaping the genre.

This is a space for readers who believe romance isn’t “just a genre”—it’s a community. It’s found family, slow burns, second chances, and choosing love even when life is chaotic.

If you’re a reader, a writer, or someone who just wants to fall back in love with books, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

Welcome to Love, Indie.
