Valentine's Day Special: Interview with Gia Kise
Thursday, 12 February, 2026

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, I’m joined by upcoming Ghanaian contemporary romance author Gia Kise for a conversation about love stories and why they deserve respect.We talk about why she chose romance, why the genre is often dismissed as “not serious,” and what people miss when they underestimate happily-ever-afters. Gia also shares her self-publishing journey, the writing, editing, marketing, costs, and challenges of doing it all independently.Plus, we spotlight her novels, It’s Always Been You and Finding You , and she drops her top romance recommendations for anyone ready to fall in love with the genre.
