In 2015, we sent soon-to-be debut author Alicia D. Williams an audio recorder. We were hoping she would be willing to document her experience of publishing her first book, GENESIS BEGINS AGAIN. Over the course of a few episodes, Alicia will share her story. In this episode, Alicia talks about her struggle to find her true creative calling, and her struggles to overcome inadequacy and publish her debut novel.This episode is sponsored by <a href="https://nosycrow.us/">NOSY CROW</a>, and their innovative STORIES ALOUD program, which gives readers instant access to professionally produced and narrated versions of their books. Look for the STORIES ALOUD QR code on the back of Nosy Crow books to give it a try.<a href="https://nosycrowaudio.com/who-ate-steve-us/">Click here for an audio sample, from the book WHO ATE STEVE?</a>
