Cozy Reads & Comfort Characters with Laurie Gilmore

We are absolutely smitten with this episode. 💖

This week on Fiction Fanatics, we’re joined by the wonderful Laurie Gilmore, and from the very first minute, it felt like chatting with a longtime friend. We talk about her writing journey, the heart behind her stories, and the magic of creating characters that feel like home.

Laurie shares insights into her creative process, what inspires her cozy, heartfelt worlds, and how she balances romance, emotion, and comfort on the page. Plus, there are plenty of laughs, bookish tangents, and those moments where conversation just flows.

This is one of those episodes that reminds us why we love what we do — genuine connection, great stories, and authors who feel like kindred spirits.

✨ Grab a blanket, your favorite drink, and settle in — this one’s a joy from start to finish.
