Before we get into characters and craft, I wanted to tell you why First Novel Blues exists. This podcast is part confession, part creative prayer—my way of staying present with the mess, mystery, and mercy of writing a first novel.
In this trailer, I share a bit about my own journey as a Black Southern writer, a mama, a woman who came through church fire and still hears the Spirit whisper stories. If you’ve got a story that’s been haunting you—or healing you—I hope you’ll meet me here. Let’s make a little room for the holy and the honest.
