This one was my first on the substack (I'm catching up with the audio option). It concerns piano lessons, then and now, creativity, and writing. I hope you enjoy! You can also listen at shelaghvt.substack.com

Hey there! Pardon the random interruption. I see that many of you continue to download the interviews archived here at Write the Book: Conversations on Craft. While I miss the show, it's been a good break as I have a novel coming: A TOAST TO THE AFTERLIFE will be published by Unsolicited Press in March 2027.

Also, I have a new Substack called The Silent G. Given your history here with me, I thought you might enjoy it. So please check it out and possibly subscribe - it's free. Thanks, all!
