What does resilience in the face of rejection look like? Join me, Nadine Matheson, and award winning author, is Kellye Garrett, the acclaimed author of "Hollywood Homicide," as we discuss the emotional rollercoaster of becoming a published author. From our own experiences of facing repeated rejections to celebrating critical acclaim, our conversation offers a heartfelt glimpse into the challenges and triumphs that define a writer's path.
Kellye and I delve into the contrasting worlds of TV writing and book authoring, emphasising the crucial role of community support and the often solitary journey of crafting a novel. We share insights on the pressures of producing work annually, the vital need to focus on personal growth over competitive comparisons and Kellye's new novel, Missing White Woman.
Missing White Woman
Beautiful. Blonde. Missing. Murdered.
It was supposed to be a romantic getaway to New York City. Breanna's new boyfriend, Ty, took care of everything – the train tickets, the sightseeing itinerary, the four-story Jersey City rowhouse with the gorgeous view of the Manhattan skyline.
But when people see only what they want to see, can she uncover the truth hiding in plain sight?
