People-Inspired Podcast
Connecting with people is like a vitamin B injected advanced Google search, except better. Inspiration fuels the creative process, and there is little that excites me more than interesting people who teach me something new (which is pretty much anyone I run into these days).
Join me for this People-Inspired Podcast where I get to talk to inspiring people about what and who inspired them. We will fill the tank and crank that flywheel, proving that one person's story is often all you need to get things rolling.
People ask about what sparked my debut novel, Back to Blue Holly, and the answer is easy. The book is place and PEOPLE-inspired. I relied heavily upon the stories I collected traveling Kentucky with artist Kelly Brewer, painting and interviewing people from all walks of life for our Common Wealth of Kentucky Project (2022). And equally influential were the good folks I am lucky to know (or heard about) in the North Georgia region.
And as I write my next novel, I'm back to being nosy Beth, poking around, asking lots of questions, and mining the unsearchable, compelling gems I cannot find anywhere else than in the people I talk to.

Judge Goodwine is now Justice Goodwine, the first woman of African heritage to be elected to the Kentucky Supreme Court. Her story is one of incredible resilience. We published her soundbite in celebration of her grand accomplishment. It was what she most wanted and she made it happen.
