In this week’s episode, Author Kristie Wolf returns to chat about her newest release, Too Guarded to Love, from her Project Viper series. We dive into her writing journey, the evolution of her characters, and the emotional complexities that fuel her stories, from love and trauma to healing and hope.
Kristie shares how military themes and technology influence her work, weaving in her research, personal experiences, and the meaningful connections she’s built with readers along the way. We explore the challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian life, the importance of community in healing, and how character development becomes the heart of every narrative she writes.
She also gives us a look into her upcoming projects, including a prequel and a cheerleader-themed novel, while reflecting on the emotional threads and themes of resilience that shape her books. This episode offers a thoughtful and honest look at storytelling, relationships, and the craft of building complex romance in a high-stakes world.
Tune in for a conversation full of depth, heart, and the kind of behind-the-scenes insight that reminds us why we fall in love with stories in the first place.
