How do you go from reporting the news to writing your own book series? This week, Kelly sits down with award-winning author Andrea Thome to talk about her journey from sports reporter to novelist and how she found her way into the world of writing and publishing.
Andrea takes us behind the scenes of the writing process—from where she finds inspiration and creates her characters to what it actually takes to turn an idea into a finished novel. She also shares the story behind *Mine Again*, the first book in her new *Sunflower Series*, and what readers can expect from this next chapter.
Plus, Andrea talks about life beyond the books, becoming an empty nester, what’s next, and of course, what’s making her Bloom Bright right now.
