Hey folks!

It’s been a weird couple weeks. Lots of firsts. One of those firsts comes via my local NPR station, WGVU in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

My First Radio Appearance

I’m going to be on the radio (for the first time!) Wednesday, October 30, 2024. I’ll talk about my podcast, A Podcast for Creative People. I will also discuss my 2022 debut novel, Switchers, and my upcoming novel Sleepwalker Angel.

If you’ve read a book of mine and/or listened to the podcast, first of all, thank you. Second, you’ll enjoy listening to me being interviewed by a real interviewer. That person is the inimitable Shelley Irwin.

Tune in Wednesday at 9:30am (EST)

The Shelley Irwin show begins at 9am (EST) and I’ll be on, from what I’m told, at 9:30. Tune in to 88.5 in the Grand Rapids area, 95.3 in other areas of West Michigan. To listen live, click this link and press play on the player that looks this:

Listen to A Podcast for Creative People

Just a reminder to check out the podcast, A Podcast for Creative People. More episodes are coming. It’s just been a lot wrapping up this book and I should’ve maybe waited to start it back up. But I love doing it so much…

Ep.92 | Cocoon ArtSpace – The Collaborative "Growth" Exhibit – A Podcast for Creative People

Cocoon Art Space is a vibrant art gallery and studio located at 327 S. Division Ave in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Founded by artists (and married couple) Josie Garcia and Tedd Smith, the space serves as a hub for local creativity, offering a rotating selection of exhibitions, handmade goods, and community events. The "Growth" exhibit celebrates nine different artists, who over the course of two months, illustrated, painted or sculpted their idea of growth into one collaborative piece. I talked to a few of the artists about how this whole thing worked. Those artists are: John Jurries* Tedd Smith* Corinne Roberts Kat Vanderweele Jenny Hearns* C.R. Warner* Robyn Smith* Christina Hutton  Lain Leo Bold* indicates the artists who were interviewed on the podcast, and you can click to open the link to their websites/socials in a new window.
