This week, we're joined by author Amanda Marquardt, the voice behind The Fallout Duet and Bull Creek Series.
From weaving themes of grief, trauma, and resilience into her stories, to exploring the strength of independence, the complexities of love, and the power of found family, Amanda opens up about the heart and inspiration behind her books.
We talk about crafting characters, the balance between strength and vulnerability, and how real-life experiences shape storytelling. The conversation dives into motherhood, family dynamics, setting boundaries, and the importance of honest discussions around intimacy and pleasure.
Lighthearted, raw, and full of insight, this episode is a glimpse into Amanda's creative world, and a tease of the stories still to come.
