1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Welcome to Talk Spicy to Me: A podcast where two bestselling authors go rogue and talk all things romance: the good, the bad, the unbearably hot, and everything in between. In this episode, It’s Giving Angst, we’re unpacking all the messy, emotional, gut-wrenching sides of romance. From miscommunication and flawed characters to villains looking for redemption, we talk about why angst hits so hard for both writers and readers, and why we can’t stop craving it! &amp;nbsp;This one’s packed with spice levels, cliffhangers, cheating books, and the art of writing good angst. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to Talk Spicy to Me&amp;nbsp; 00:55– Writing Retreats &amp;amp; Author Relationships 08:20 – The Spice Report 23:33 – Writing Good Angst &amp;nbsp;41:07 – Villains, Redemption &amp;amp; Miscommunication 56:55 – Red Flag / Green Flag: Your man getting in a Fight for You &amp;nbsp;01:01:15 – Question from reader: Dating Our Characters 💬 &amp;nbsp;Got a question you’d like us to answer on the podcast?
