In this feel-good episode of The Curvy Literary, Keshia chats with the ever-delightful Willa Kay, author of the heart-tugging, swoon-filled Oak Ridge Series. If you’re a fan of cozy small towns, plus-size heroines who lead with heart, and love stories that heal, this one’s for you.


We talk about how Willa builds characters that feel like old friends, how the fictional town of Oak Ridge became a world readers want to live in, and what inspired her to center body positivity in every book. She also gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming Whispering Oaks Ranch Series (yes, there are cowboys and yes, they’re into curvy, plus-size babes).


Expect laughter, real talk, and a few surprises as we explore themes of healing, second chances, and what it means to take up space in both love and life. Grab your favorite drink and get comfy. This episode is a warm hug with a side of southern charm.
