Today’s guest on Uncorking a Story, Lyn Liao Butler, is the type of person who likes to have many irons in the fire. While working as a professional ballet and modern dancer in New York City, she ran her own gym. After retiring from dancing, she started a family, built an online business, and began writing novels. I got exhausted just thinking about all she does! One thing that stayed with me was Lyn’s advice to aspiring authors—to give it all you got. Your talent will get an agent’s interest, but your passion will sell your story. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Meet Lyn Liao Butler Lyn was born in Taiwan and moved to the States when she was seven.
