EP 107: Keep Surprising Yourself with Leslie Kain

When was the last time you surprised yourself?  It gets less frequent as we get older doesn’t it?  Leslie Kain supported her family as a single mother working in business development in AI and government Intelligence.  After her kids were grown and flown, she returned to her roots working in her first love, psychology and serving as director in nonprofits focusing on mental health. Having written technical and marketing “nonfiction” during her varied careers and with so many stories in her, she started to get curious about writing fiction. She started with short stories before she turned to novels.  Now, in her 70s, her first published novel, Secrets in the Mirror, is due out in September… Amazing right!  But what’s truly amazing is how Leslie surprised herself by simply learning the craft of writing… She was surprised by what writing opened up for her personally.
