Ever wondered how a former CFO ends up writing paranormal novels? Join Cathy and Merry as they chat with Kirsten Marion, who took a daring leap from finance to fiction. What sparked this transformation? A move to Moscow, a reassessment of life, and a childhood passion rekindled! Kirsten dives into the world of paranormal fiction, explaining how she brings magic into the mundane and champions older female protagonists. She also shares the nitty-gritty of self-publishing, from marketing strategies to tackling self-doubt. Feeling stuck? Kirsten’s advice on revisiting childhood dreams might just be your key to unlocking new paths. Tune in to discover how Kirsten found fulfillment in her new career and how you can too. Join us for an inspiring tale of reinvention and empowerment! About Kirsten I’m a recovering corporate executive writing paranormal women’s fiction with a bit of class, and a lot of sass, for anyone who feels age is just a number. My Rowanswood Crones series explores what happens when midlife meets magic, and when ordinary women discover extraordinary power at the very moment life expects them to shrink. I live on the southwestern tip of Canada.
