Hello Book Lovers,
This week on the Rebel Reads Podcast, I’m joined by the incredible Beth Kander—a genre-defying author and screenwriter whose work has been described as “riveting” and “habit-forming.” With tangled roots in both the Midwest and the Deep South, Beth’s writing beautifully weaves together old and new worlds, often with a darkly funny twist.
Beth’s highly anticipated debut novel, I MADE IT OUT OF CLAY (MIRA Books / HarperCollins), hit shelves in December 2024—and it’s making waves. In this episode, we dive into her creative journey, from screenwriting to publishing her first novel, her passion for storytelling, and the real-life inspiration behind her work.
We also talk about writing, life, and what it means to balance creativity with family life. I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with Beth virtually before, but I’m absolutely thrilled to finally bring you this inspiring conversation!
If you love books that blur boundaries and conversations that spark creativity, you don’t want to miss this one!
