Love, Redemption and the Past: KyLee Woodley on Writing Historical Romance (E156)
In today’s episode, I am chatting with KyLee Woodley. KyLee teaches preschool at a lab school in Texas where she lives with her husband of 18 years and their three teenage children. Having been raised in the Pacific Northwest and spent part of her adult life in Texas, she has a deep respect for American values. She grew up in an impoverished area and began ministering to homeless, drug addicted, and desperate people while in her teens. As a result, she feels a deep sense of concern for society’s unloved. This comes through in her stories, enriched with historical detail that shows how loving the unlovely is a timeless need.
Episode Highlights:
- KyLee’s inspiration behind the Outlaw Hearts series and her newest book, The Bounty Hunter’s Surrender.
- Balancing writing with being a preschool teacher and mom of three.
- Recognizing burnout and learning to ask for help.
- How reading excellent books sharpens her writing.
- Her book flight features historical romance series.
- Behind the scenes of cohosting the Historical Bookworm Show.
