Where do your stories come from? Who do you write for? Is it important to know your audience? What's your creative process like? How's the life of a novelist like?

I had so many questions for this week's guest, and Melissa's answers were insightful and thrilling to listen to.

Melissa Payne is the bestselling, award-winning author of The Secrets of Lost Stones and Memories in the Drift, and the just published, The Night of Many  Endings. She learned he real importance of storytelling in her teens when she worked for a residential and day treatment center for abused and neglected children. She lives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with her husband and three children.
