🎙️Meet Nicole Lenz, Waco's Own Author of Finders Keepers

This week, we’re highlighting a local creative whose story is already making waves — Waco author Nicole Lenz joins us to talk about her debut novel Finders Keepers, a suspenseful, emotionally rich love story about rebuilding trust, finding your voice, and taking your power back. Nicole wrote the first few drafts just chasing a story... but by the third or fourth, she realized it ran much deeper. What started as a work of fiction ended up reflecting real themes of resilience, protection, motherhood, and hope. Set in the fictional Texas town of Pine Grove, Finders Keepers follows Bailey Monroe, a mother escaping an abusive past, and Gavin Mitchell, a small-town vet with a heart that might just be big enough to help her heal. It’s romantic, it’s tense, and it’s the kind of story that stays with you after the last page. 🗣️ In this episode, we talk about: Nicole’s process and how the story changed her while she was writing it How she created characters who feel real, flawed, and worth rooting for What it’s like to self-publish and market your first book Her hopes for Finders Keepers and future projects already in the works And how our community can help get her book in local stores 📣 Waco, this is where you come in: We’d love your help getting Finders Keepers on local shelves. Next time you're at Fabled or Barnes & Noble, ask them to carry it. It takes just one request to put a local book in front of more local readers. 📱 Follow Nicole + Show Your Support: Instagram → @author.nicole.lenz TikTok → @author.nicole.lenz Facebook → Author Nicole Lenz Pinterest → Character mood boards + more Website → authornicolelenz.com The Scent → Book Bar Apothecary 📚 Want a copy?
