In this episode of the Spill the Spice Podcast, we’re joined by Jenny Grimes for a soul-deep conversation about her completed four-book Soul Magic series and the stories that grow with us as we change.

We dive into her writing journey, the evolution of a fantasy series built around interconnected characters, and why pacing, accessibility, and emotional depth matter when you’re asking readers to stay for the long haul. Jenny shares how each book follows Opal’s arc while also honoring the journeys of her friends, weaving together love, trust, sacrifice, and growth in ways that feel deeply personal.

We also talk writing rituals, balancing motherhood and creativity, the role of music and playlists in shaping her worlds, and what it means to write characters who hold both light and darkness at the same time. From complicated relationships and redemption arcs to reader reactions and emotional stakes, this episode is a reminder of why fantasy can be both a comfort and a catalyst for healing.
