148 - Rom-Coms, Witty Banter, and Beach Towns – Inside Grace Worthington’s Sweet Romance World

On this episode of The Mike Lenz VO Podcast, I chat with bestselling author Grace Worthington, whose sweet romance novels are as heartwarming as they are hilarious.

I had the pleasure of co-narrating a 4 book Renovation Romance series for Grace and we had so much fun talking about that process!

We explore her creative journey from the musical theatre stage to the world of romantic fiction—and how she brings characters to life with humor, wit, and emotional authenticity.

Grace Worthington eats, breathes, and geeks out over sweet romcoms. So it’s no surprise she believes that laughter and love are a cure-all for just about everything in life. After a stint in musical theatre (where she often played comedic roles), Grace now writes novels full of witty banter, lovable characters, and small-town charm. Her inspirations include ‘80s and ‘90s romcoms, beachside towns, and her own family’s delightful chaos.

We also discuss:

• Her transition from actress to author

• The behind-the-scenes of how we collaborated to bring her  Renovation Romance series into audiobook form

• How she approaches tone, pacing, and voice in her stories

• Why being “willing to be bad at something in the beginning” is key to finding your creative voice

Whether you're a narrator, author, or creative entrepreneur, this episode is packed with wisdom, heart, and lots of laughter.
