In this episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I’m delighted to talk with author Louise Nayer whose latest book is a memoir entitled Narrow Escapes.

How she received a phone call and invitation to meet for coffee from Isabel Allende!!! Her transition from writing poetry to writing prose. The role her teaching played along her writing journey.
