In this week’s episode of Spill the Spice Podcast, we’re joined by sci-fi author and Indieverse Awards nominee Stacey LP to explore the haunting world of Afterflow: Rising from the Ashes. A post-apocalyptic novel where glowing tattoos, memory loss, and shadowy creatures hint at something far more sinister than a simple alien attack.

We dive into the emotional wreckage of survival, the complexity of found family, and the unsettling idea that the invaders may not have come to conquer… but to observe.

Stacey shares the personal plot twist that led to her writing career, the eerie real-world inspiration behind her setting, and the power of stories to both unnerve and heal.

The Afterglow series isn’t just about survival. It asks the deeper question: What kind of world are we rebuilding, and who do we become in the process?
