Connecting with people is like a vitamin B energy injected advanced Google search, except better. I can't write without inspiration, and while some writers spend their downtime reading, this extravert prefers conversation.

In this podcast, I am out to prove that for those who are curious and creative, nothing competes with what one can learn from a casual conversation with people. Join me for this people-inspired podcast. Prepare to laugh, learn, and feel good when you leave. 

People ask what inspired me to write my debut novel, Back to Blue Holly, and my answer is always the same. The book is place and PEOPLE-inspired. I relied heavily upon the compelling stories I collected traveling Kentucky with artist Kelly Brewer, painting and interviewing people from all walks of life for our Common Wealth of Kentucky Project (2022). Additional inspiration was the good folks I am lucky to know (or heard about) in the North Georgia region. And as I write my next book (about women in the Thoroughbred racing industry) and work on Kindred Spirits with Kelly (a new project about the connection between humans and animals), I'm back to being nosy Beth, poking around, asking lots of questions, and mining informational, inspirational gems I cannot find anywhere else than in the people I'm lucky to talk to.
