Patricia Falvey had a successful 30-year career in accounting, yet what she really wanted was to become a full-time writer. After taking a leap of faith to pursue her dream, she's happier and already has had five books published: "The Yellow House," "The Linen Queen," "The Girls of Ennismore," "The Titanic Sisters," and her latest, "The Famine Orphans." All five novels have a connection to Ireland, where she lived with her grandmother until she was about 8.
This episode is an excerpt from a longer interview. To hear more, go to the full interview titled "Author Patricia Falvey on Being Brave, Resilient, and Focused on Your Dream." To listen to Falvey's descriptions of her historical novels, you can go to Episode 117 titled "Five Books and Counting: the Novels of Patricia Falvey."
Two other excerpts will be published later this week: "Goodness, Resilience and Paying it Forward" and "The Courage to Pursue Your Second Act."
