What happens when government priorities shift away from serving citizens? In this episode of The Writer’s Way, Jessica Wilkins speaks with author Douglas P. Rosile Sr. about his book Dirt Bags, Liars, and Power Freaks, which examines government practices, inefficiencies, and areas for potential reform. Douglas shares the experiences that inspired his writing, outlines his “Ten Commandments for Government Reform,” and explores how informed citizens can contribute to accountability and positive change.

Join Jessica Wilkins as she interviews Mona Mason, whose book “Little Boys Grow Up to Be Men, Little Girls Grow Up to Be Women” offers children and families guidance on identity, values, and biblical principles. Mona talks about the writing process, faith integration, and how the book’s narrative style and illustrations create an engaging, educational tool for homes, schools, and churches, helping children thrive while understanding God’s design.

Polly Lynch Spain never planned to write a book—but God had other plans. In this heartfelt episode, she shares how journaling her husband’s Alzheimer’s journey turned into The Color of Gray. Jessica and Polly talk poetry, pain, and purpose, from navigating intimacy and faith to giving voice to those who can’t speak for themselves. It’s a story of resilience, honesty, and the healing power of writing.
