How A Divorce Sparked A Spiritual Road Novel

The market can be “doom and gloom” on the news while your neighborhood stays busy, so we open with real numbers from Henderson County: roughly 135 single-family homes selling each month, prices holding steady, and days on market stretching out. That combination changes strategy, not opportunity, and we share how we think about timing decisions like selling before buying, buying before selling, and what to watch if you are relocating in Western North Carolina or Upstate South Carolina.From there, the show turns into something deeper than real estate. We’re joined in the studio by local author B Dozer Singletary, whose new novel Life After Fall landed on a Barnes and Noble shortlist of best new authors. He tells the honest story of how he started writing during separation and divorce, not with a lifelong dream of publishing, but as a way to heal when pain had nowhere else to go. The book follows a character named Eli on a motorcycle trip to Alaska and a climb up Denali in search of God, only to discover that the real answers show up in people, small moments, and hard-earned self-awareness.We also talk craft and culture: why the book is spiritual but not written as a “Christian novel,” how grief has to be acknowledged to heal, why fear gets loud right before something important, and what hybrid publishing means in an era when readers wonder if a book is AI-written. We wrap with where to find the book, plus a quick plug for our Hometown Hero Series highlighting the Medical Loan Closet of Hendersonville.Subscribe for more local real estate insight and community stories, share this with a friend who needs a hopeful read, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.
