“Every book leaves a mark. This is where we talk about it.”

In this first full episode of Offbeat Journeys, I answer the same three questions I’ll soon be asking independent authors on the show:

The book that sparked my love of writing
The one that broke me open
And the one that flipped everything I thought I knew

I also introduce my upcoming novel Unkindness, share why I chose the independent publishing route, and talk about what this podcast hopes to become — a space for thoughtful readers, quiet rebels, and anyone who believes stories can reveal who we really are.

If you’ve ever felt understood by a book… if you love stories that linger… or if you’re curious about how writers are shaped by the books they read — you’re in the right place.
