This week on Spill the Spice Podcast, we’re talking about love, laughter, and the beauty of starting over at any age. Author Dani Elias joins us to chat about writing romance for characters in their 40s, blending humor with heart, and the inspiration behind The Unhinged Christmas of a Cat Lady.
From self-publishing during lockdowns to exploring connection, confidence, and the chaos of modern dating, Dani opens up about her creative process, how spice can deepen emotional storytelling, and why it’s never too late for a happily-ever-after.
Expect cat ladies, Christmas chaos, and self-discovery. Expect second chances that make the best love stories. Expect rom-coms that aren’t afraid to get a little unhinged and real talk on writing, dating, and emotional growth.
