092: TI Lowe

Sometimes you want a book that is richly layered with the best of stories. Author TI Lowe's next novel Indigo Isle is that. Inspired by the Prodigal Son and Beauty and the Beast, this story gripped my heart and didn't let go. I really enjoyed the opportunity to connect with TI and learn more about her journey to publication and how she finds her stories. We talked about the importance of research and how it can be hard when researching tough topics like abusive relationships and what it's like when someone doesn't fight or fight, but freezes. We discussed the importance of respecting the experience of others when we write and how she makes space to walk away when the writing is hard. But we also talked about her love of the South infuses her books. You'll hear it in her accent and in the way she writes about Charleston and the surrounding islands. You can also learn about the books she's reading right now. Connect with TI Lowe ⁠Facebook⁠ | ⁠Twitter⁠ | Pinterest | Instagram Want to watch this interview?
