142: Amanda Cox


Listen Later

Today I'm delighted you to Amanda Cox. Her fourth novel, Between Sound and Sea, is one that I'm excited about because one of the threads takes place during the Uboat attacks along the North Carolina coast. As you can imagine, the two of us geeked out on all the cool research we did on this topic—her for this novel and me for my novella Across the Shores. She also wondered what it would be like to be a lighthouse keeper during blackouts...and that's what led to her modern heroine doing a renovation of a lighthouse. Between the Sound and Sea is a story of hope, healing, and finding a sense of belonging told between the two storylines of Joey and Mae.

When I asked her what she would tell her younger writing self, she said to trust her process. Such great advice for any writer. Your process is your process. She's been a writer since she wrote and illustrated her first book as a seven-year-old and got her first rejection then too. Her biggest challenge is getting through the rough draft. I can relate to that one too! But the most fun is when the story thread clicks and she finds the symbolism.

You're going to love getting to know Amanda!
