In EPISODE 35, we interview Robin Oliveira the award-winning NYT bestselling author of MY NAME IS MARY SUTTER, which won the prestigious Shaara Prize Winner for Civil War Fiction. Her latest historical novel, A WILD AND HEAVENLY PLACE, is a sweeping tale about the birth of Seattle and two star-crossed lovers that discover it. This is a poignant and lyrical book and love letter to the Pacific Northwest. I had no idea that Seattle was rooted in coal mining before I plunged into Robin’s latest saga. We had the delight of discussing the mystery of showing up to the page without a plot, the pleasure of deep research, navigating the inevitable toil of revision, and how to reconcile the very private act of writing with the public act of publishing. Robin is humble, full of heart and one of my new heroes in writing, who at the age of 70 is engaging with the craft more effortlessly than ever. This is a risk taker at her core, another badass woman writer who you will respect, admire and whose wisdom will benefit you immensely. Please enjoy this beautiful hour in her presence.
