    🎙️ Episode 12: Intense Feelings & Soap Opera Realness with Nomi Palmer
    This week, we’re diving deep into the world of steamy paranormal drama with indie author Nomi Palmer—a self-proclaimed soap opera lover and the brilliant mind behind The Passions Series. Think Passions the TV show, but bookish, witchy, and even more addictive.

    Nomi joins us to chat about her latest release, Intense Feelings, a juicy paranormal romance dripping in drama, magic, and emotional chaos—the best kind of “junk food” fiction (and we say that with love!).

    We talk about her creative inspirations, including her background in Digital Media Arts, her time as a “student” on Degrassi: The Next Generation(👀), and how all of that storytelling drama translated into her own signature writing style.

    From ASMR and tarot to writing with cats and kids underfoot, Nomi shares her journey as a Canadian indie author balancing real life with fictional chaos. Whether you're a longtime soap fan or just here for the vibes, this episode will definitely give you... Intense Feelings.
