    From Military Service To Alternative School Principal To Author

    Some stories start as a plan. Others start as a punch to the chest. My guest’s journey is both: she went from joining the military to earn the GI Bill, to teaching, to becoming a principal, and eventually building an alternate school in rural Texas for students who are behind on credits but still deserve a real path to a diploma. We talk about what’s changed for kids over the last decade, why anxiety feels so much more common after COVID, and how flexible education can still hold high standards when it’s built around real life circumstances.  Then we go somewhere more personal. She explains the emotional origin of her first book, sparked by multiple losses to suicide and the insights found inside a young girl’s diary. We sit with the hard question many parents and mentors carry: how can someone who seems “okay” be fighting a constant internal war? Her answer isn’t a slogan, it’s a story-driven attempt at understanding, written to help families feel less confused and more connected.  We also shift into pure craft and curiosity: how a trip to Salem lit the match for her historical fiction witch series, why accurate history can act like an outline, and how research into herbal remedies and early medicine adds texture without turning the books into lectures. If you love creativity, discipline, storytelling, and the strange ways grief can become purpose, you’ll take a lot from this conversation.

    A Novelist’s Leap From The White House To Small-Town Suspense

    A lot of people talk about “chasing the dream.” Michelle Morris actually did it, and the road there runs through the White House, presidential campaigns, global corporate communications, and a moment that changes everything: a deathbed promise to finally write the books she’d carried since childhood. I loved this conversation because it’s equal parts craft talk and life talk, with the kind of honesty that makes you rethink what you’re postponing. We get into her novel Comes Around, a gripping suspense story set in small-town Michigan where the pull of home is both comfort and threat. Michelle introduces Hallie McCarthy, a woman in her early 30s whose shiny startup life in San Francisco implodes under federal scrutiny. Hallie drives back to her hometown quietly, stops first at the cemetery, and tries to decide whether she can disappear again before anyone sees her. Then the tension tightens: something, or someone, may have followed her back. Alongside the mystery, we talk about the layered family dynamics that make the book hit hard, especially the older, wiser women who show up with backbone, love, and zero patience for self-pity. Michelle also shares the surprising real-world spark for the opening scene, how she learned the publishing industry after years of “industry-adjacent” writing, and why treating writing like a job can unlock speed, consistency, and better stories. If you love suspense novels, family secrets, second chances, and strong female characters, you’ll want to put this on your list.
