Alesha Escobar is the bestselling author of the Gray Tower Trilogy, fantasy writer of eleven novels and counting, mother of six, graduate student, teacher, and self-proclaimed chocolate-fueled storyteller—and in this second episode with her, we focused on marketing.

If you—like many of our authors—feel like marketing is a four-letter word, Alesha’s approach will inspire you. I loved all of it and especially the piece about inviting your audience to participate in and contribute to the development and success of your story.

If you’re an introvert who would rather just write, but know you need to tell others about your book, you’re going to love this conversation.

Most of us think of adventures in terms of novel places and new, challenging activities.

And if you read Mima’s first book in the Cousin Camp Chronicles, titled The Ascent, you know she’s a big fan of those high-adventures.

But today, she talked about her new book Staycation and some audacious Cousin Camp adventures she facilitated at home.

You’ll love hearing how a few activities turned into life-changing, resilience-building lessons that the cousins and Mima will never forget. www.Cousin-Camp-Chronicles.com

Alesha Escobar is the bestselling author of the Gray Tower Trilogy, fantasy writer of eleven novels and counting, mother of six, graduate student, teacher, and self-proclaimed chocolate-fueled storyteller—and we got some of the down and dirty on:

• the characters she loves to write and why
• the rules of her writing road, especially as it relates to AI
• and so much more…

If you need a little reminder or infusion of human potential and possibility, you’re going to love this conversation.

When Jessica began writing her book, she had no idea that it would be published and launched at a time in history that literally rhymes with her historical setting. Tune in to hear about Jessica’s inspiration, how it changed across time, and why young and old will love and benefit from this remarkable story of curiosity, courage, and friendship.

If you haven’t written a book, it’s hard to understand what a monumental achievement it is to write one… and then publish and launch it. But TWO books! What an adventure! Tune in to hear why Lori decided to launch a second edition of A Moment in Time while making a childhood dream of writing and publishing a children’s book (The Ascent) also come true. Plus, you’ll hear from the 3 granddaughters who her characters are modeled after and, if you’re anything like us, be AMAZED at how Mima’s big adventures have enabled them to do hard things in other areas of their lives.
