I spoke with K. Webster, bestselling author of over 150 books and the banned book queen of some of our favorite taboo romance books, including The Wild and The Free. Kristi opens up about writing as escapism, the fierce compassion she brings to her flawed characters, their complicated relationships, and how she navigated backlash and book bans. We discuss challenging happily-ever-afters, trusting the process, double standards for women in publishing, the layered, multi-generational storytelling that fuels books like The Wild, and the real-world research behind the mental health themes in her books.
