A Love Letter to Reading—and Survival with Heather Snodgrass

I’m joined by Heather Snodgrass, the debut, award-winning author of A Love Letter to Reading: a novel that fuses adrenaline-fueled suspense with the healing power of music. Her protagonist, Ariana Rossi, lives a life split straight down the middle: nurse by day, trained assassin by night. But in the darkest corners of that double life, it’s music, not violence, that keeps her grounded, alive, and human.Heather’s work explores the complexity of the human spirit, the ways we compartmentalize pain, and how art, especially music, can become both refuge and lifeline. This conversation dives into character, craft, creativity, and the surprising ways storytelling can heal what the world tries to break.So settle in, because this episode is about secrets, survival, and the quiet power of the things we love most.InstagramWebsite
