Crafting the Timeless Series and Clean Historical Romances with Author Gabrielle Meyer (E112)
Manage episode 448743773 series 3588904
In today’s episode, I am chatting with Gabrielle Meyer. Gabrielle lives on the banks of the Upper Mississippi River with her husband and four children. As an employee of the Minnesota Historical Society, she fell in love with the rich history of her state and enjoys writing historical and contemporary novels inspired by real people, places and events. The river is a constant source of inspiration for Gabrielle and if you look closely, you will find a river in each of her stories. When Gabrielle is not writing, you might find her homeschooling her children, cheering them on at sporting and theatrical events, or hosting a gathering at her home with family and friends. Her latest book of the Timeless series, Across the Ages, was released yesterday. Congratulations Gabrielle!
In our conversation, she shares insights into the extensive research and travel that bring her stories to life and how she balances her time in the day as a second-generation homeschooling Mom. We explore the themes woven into her Timeless series, her favorite books to write and even discuss a special book that inspired her own journey as a writer. Her book flight includes clean historical romance novels. If you’re a fan of historical romance or interested in the life of a homeschooling writer, this episode is full of inspiration and wisdom. Tune in and enjoy!
