We had the pleasure of sitting down with indie romance author Joanna Kimber in preparation for the Black Romance Book Fest to talk about her journey as a writer, her Jamaican heritage, and how she brings authenticity and depth to her characters. In our conversation, we also dove into her newest release, Dry Cry—a slow-burn, foodie romance that’s already winning readers over.

Set in the world of high-stakes culinary dreams and unexpected love, Dry Cry follows a determined chef navigating heartbreak, healing, and the kind of love that refuses to be let go.

Dry Cry is available as a special edition preorder exclusively on our site for a limited time!

Watch the full interview here.

Don’t miss this heartfelt story of love, loss, and second chances—the second book in Joanna’s Golden Peaks Country Club series, following her highly-rated debut, Hide Away.
