Today I interview the author of "Untethered", Deborah Staunton. In her book, Deb tells the story of growing up with a mentally ill, alcoholic father and the experience of raising a mentally ill daughter. It follows Deb's journey through multiple miscarriages and the "untethering" of minds, relationships, and pregnancies.

At one point in our interview, Deb says, "I just have to get 200 rejections and I'm on my way." This statement beautifully illustrates Deb's tenacity when faced with challenges.

In this episode, we talk about Deb's writing process and the resources she has accessed during the process of writing, editing, and publishing her book.

She talks candidly and with encouragement to others who have a story to tell. Her book is a testimony to the resilience of the human spirit and Deb inspires other writers to keep moving forward in the process of writing and getting their work out into the world.

Deborah's book Untethered can be found everywhere you buy books including Walmart, Amazon, and Barnes&Noble

You can find Deb on Facebook here and she recommends that you check out the International Women's Writers Guild for support in your writing journey.
