  • Fire & Feather Author Johanna Kirwan Reveals How a Life in Global Aid Became Her Novel Seven Lives

    What happens when a life spent in international development turns into fiction?

    In this episode, Fire & Feather author Johanna Kirwan joins me to talk about her stunning novel Seven Lives: seven interconnected stories of women navigating love, loss, and purpose across the globe.

    We dive into:

    • How Johanna transformed decades of field experience into layered, human stories
    • The line between autofiction and memoir — and why she chose fiction 
    • The creative freedom that comes with writing later in life
    • Her decision to publish with Fire & Feather, instead of chasing an agent

    It’s a conversation about purpose, legacy, and writing the stories that stay with you — even after the work ends.
