What does it take to keep writing — and thriving — across decades of publishing?
Host Jen Graybeal sits down with Loucinda McGary, romantic‑suspense author and creative globe‑trotter, to talk about writing gothic‑tinged love stories, finding community, and treating your author career like a business.
Loucinda shares how she went from a government job to full‑time novelist, the power of supporting writer groups and Zoom sprints, and the mindset shift that helped her pivot with data — turning self‑publishing strategy into a 55 percent revenue jump and record Kindle Unlimited reads.
They also dive into creative recovery, imposter syndrome, and how crochet, travel, and “filling the well” keep Loucinda’s imagination flowing.
Grab inspiration and practical insight for staying in the game — no matter where you are in your writing journey.
