Besties and the Books PodcastAuthor: Besties and the Books
Were Ashley and Liz, two real-life besties whove loved books since we first learned to read, so naturally, we started a podcast! We would say the rest is history but in actuality, it's just the beginning. So come join us in the next chapter of our lives as we introduce ourselves, and laugh our way through the world of books with a focus on Fantasy, Romantasy, and Dark Romance. Of course we have love for all book genres, but those are our absolute favorites! Don't be shy, subscribe! New Podcasts every Tuesday!

Episode 106
Tuesday, 21 April, 2026
Send us Fan MailLet's travel back to Oz in this West of Wicked Book! The day we’ve been waiting for since we started this podcast has come… the day when one of our favorite authors of all time’s people pop into OUR inbox to talk with our people (just us) for some crazy reason and invite us to yap about her new book. After we passed away, revived ourselves, and regained composure we immediately sent an email back to let them know that yes… we’d love to have NIKKI ST. CROWE on to promote West of Wicked! Today we’re completely fangirling over chatting with originally indie published and now trad published queen of spicy Romantasy reimaginings Nikki St.Crowe! We’re here to celebrate her newly released spicy Oz retelling: West of Wicked, book one in The Great and Terrible Land Series! Think: Oz but Dorothy is badass, there are four witches, and the tinman, scarecrow, lion, and wizard are hot AF… You know, just exactly what all of us fairytale girlies have been fantasizing about our entire lives. Today's episode will be completely spoiler free, so stick around to get to know Nikki better and to find out what you’ll be getting into when you pick up West of Wicked, or any of her other spicy fairytales, like her Vicious Lost Boys Series which begins with The Never King. We talk about what inspires her, how the transition from indie to trad publishing has been, themes, strong female characters, her audiobooks being unmatched in the romance genre, and what she has planned for the future.Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this possible.
