  • S3, E18: Brewing Cosy Fantasy — From Rival Potioneers to A Possessed Lute with R.K. Ashwick
    Jun 3 2025

    Welcome to episode 18 of Turn the Page: The Indie Book Podcast. In this episode, I’m joined by cosy fantasy author R.K. Ashwick, creator of the Lutesong Series and the Side Quest Row trilogy. Her books blend found family and hurt-comfort with high and low-stakes magical plot lines — think rival potioneers forced to work together, bards with haunted lutes, and multi-POV cosy fantasy stories wrapped in comfort and danger.
    Tune in to hear R.K. Ashwick chat about:

    • How she found her way into cosy fantasy
    • How she balances high-stakes plots with comforting themes
    • The inspirations behind her characters and storylines
    • Her top cosy fantasy recommendations by indie authors
    • What’s next after completing not one, but two trilogies this year
    • & lots more.


    If you love cosy fantasy worlds with heart, humour, and heaps of magic, you won’t want to miss this episode.
