Crossroads- An Indianapolis Suspense Thriller
Manage episode 462557836 series 3450378
Today, I sit down with bestselling author Rhonda Parker Taylor to discuss writing, resilience, and the power of creativity.
Rhonda shares her personal journey from struggling with reading and writing as a child to becoming a successful author, emphasizing the importance of mentorship and overcoming self-doubt. Together, we dive deep into her novel Crossroads, a suspense thriller set in Indianapolis, exploring the themes of justice, personal transformation, and the difficult choices we face at life's crossroads.
Rhonda reveals how her experiences observing the legal system and recognizing societal injustices helped shape her novel’s plot and characters. She explains her unique character development process using medical SOAP notes to build realistic, multidimensional personalities.
Additionally, we discuss the challenges of writing mystery and suspense, how the book’s title evolved alongside the story, and the importance of embracing vulnerability in the creative process.
Beyond the novel, Rhonda shares her upcoming self-help book inspired by Crossroads, aimed at helping readers reflect on their own life imbalances and personal growth. She also teases her next novel, Chosen (or potentially A Journey for Hope), and invites listeners to help her decide on the final title.
