Books have always been my escape, my comfort, and my spark—and for fantasy author BK Cavaleri, that spark became something much bigger. In this episode, I sit down with BK to talk about her Remnant Archive series—a dark romance fantasy packed with Fae, redemption, and identity—and how writing became her outlet through grief and growth.
We dive deep into her writing process, the emotional chaos of character development, and how found family became a recurring theme in her stories. BK also opens up about the spicy side of writing (yep, she loves it), the struggles of self-publishing, and the freedom it gives indie authors to tell stories their way.
She shares her excitement about her upcoming release and her Kickstarter campaign for special editions that break the stereotype that indie authors can’t sell big. Between balancing her career as a physical therapist, prepping for her first major book events, and still finding time for The Great British Bake Off, BK proves that saying “yes” to yourself is the first step toward building the life you want.
We also get into rapid-fire fun—favorite movies (Dragonheart!), guilty-pleasure reads (werewolf chapter apps, anyone?), and what it really takes to keep creating when no one’s watching yet.
If you’ve ever dreamed of writing your own book or just want to hear an honest look behind the fantasy curtain, this episode’s for you.
