In this episode of Spill the Spice Podcast, we’re joined by dark fantasy romance author Melissa K. Roehrich for a deeply honest and engaging conversation about storytelling, creativity, and the personal experiences that shape the stories we love.

We explore the healing power of writing, the emotional layers behind character development, and the delicate balance between plot and feeling. Melissa shares insight into her creative process, the interconnectedness of her worlds, and how complex emotions, identity shifts, and life experiences influence her narratives.

From discussing the realities of publishing and creative burnout to diving into romance, character dynamics, and emotional depth, this episode is a candid look at both the artistry and vulnerability behind the writing journey.

This conversation is reflective, thoughtful, and filled with the kind of moments that remind us why stories matter.
