<p>There are some authors that I aspire to write like, and <a href="https://susanmeissnerauthor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Susan Meissner</strong></a> is one of them. I am delighted to introduce you to her in this episode of Book Talk. Her latest novel <a href="https://amzn.to/3FQR1if" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>A Map to Paradise</strong></a>, was featured in PEOPLE magazine. Woot! There is a gentleness to Susan that I so appreciate, and this episode grew out of reconnecting with her at a published author retreat in February. I know you'll enjoy learning about her path to published author, how A Map to Paradise is woven together, and how it evolved in the writing and editing. There's so much to learn from her. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.</p><p><strong>Connect with Susan Meissner</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/susan.meissner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/SusanMeissner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/susanmeissnerauthor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/SusanMeissner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pinterest</a></p><p><strong>Want to watch this interview?</strong> You can see this episode as well as multiple others <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLstOGlZXKnA7XpTSSUJOiyutTPl0q9Cw_" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">on YouTube</a>!

<p><a href="https://www.beccakinzer.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Becca Kinzer</strong></a> is the award-winning author of romantic comedies like Dear Henry, Love Edith. I LOVED <a href="https://amzn.to/4iYsJSk" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>First Love, Second Draft</strong><strong>,</strong></a> a book of second-chance love and forced proximity, so it was such fun to talk about it with Becca. I think we could also bond over our fondness of Jimmy Stewart, but we didn't dive down that rabbit hole in today's conversation. What we did talk about is the way love and second-chance love give us a chance to dig deeper and explore God's heart and character. We talked about her journey in writing and how she writes. And we just had a fun conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!</p><p><strong>Connect with Becca Kinzer</strong></p><p><a href="http://facebook.com/becca.kinzer.5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/beccakinzer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a> | <a href="http://instagram.com/beccaannkinzer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/3209104-becca-kinzer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Goodreads</a></p><p><strong>Want to watch this interview?</strong> You can see this episode as well as multiple others <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLstOGlZXKnA7XpTSSUJOiyutTPl0q9Cw_" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">on YouTube</a>!

<p>It is always a delight to share my friend <a href="https://www.jaimewrightbooks.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Jaime Jo Wright</strong></a> with y'all. In November, we were at the Christy Awards, and it was a thrill to watch her win the Christy for mystery/suspense/thriller. Y'all, I don't want to go head-to-head against this amazing writer. I can say this because I love Jaime and her writing. Jaime's books fill an interesting niche: Christian gothic. What is that? I'm glad you asked because that's what we will start this Book Talk discussing.</p><p>Then we move on to her new novel, <a href="https://amzn.to/4l96Rou" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>The Tempest of Annabel's Lighthouse</strong></a>. This story was the first idea that Jaime had, and it's now coming to you. I can't wait to see what you think of it. Then we move on to discuss what makes a great hero, and I think her definition will surprise you. As will whether she reads her reviews and which of her books she'd love to see turned into a movie. As always, you will enjoy this conversation with Jaime.</p><p><strong>Connect with Jaime Jo Wright</strong></p><p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/jaimejowright" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://x.com/jaimejowright" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a> | <a href="http://www.instagram.com/jaimejowright" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/@madlitmusings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://www.threads.net/@jaimejowright" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Threads</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1hlMANInNcr9JTfilk6te5?si=0ec930770c154b19" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Podcast</a></p><p><strong>Want to watch this interview?</strong> You can see this episode as well as multiple others <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLstOGlZXKnA7XpTSSUJOiyutTPl0q9Cw_" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">on YouTube</a>!
