Ep 112: Exploring Colorado with Author Kerry Evelyn
Join us as we tour the US through books, one state at a time.
Ever wonder why authors choose specific settings for their stories? For Kerry Evelyn, it started with a character’s backstory involving a hockey player and a significant trade to Colorado — spurred by her personal beef with the Colorado Avalanche. What started as a single tale evolved into a beloved series featuring teams like the Denver Edge and Palmer City Voltage.
That Thing You Brew is a delightful romantic comedy set against the backdrop of Colorado’s breathtaking mountain vistas. The tale revolves around Xavier and Penny, whose marriage of convenience evolves into a love story as they navigate personal and familial challenges.
Kerry also provides a sneak peek into her upcoming projects and shares her journey from teacher to prolific author, juggling parenthood and writing along the way.

Meet Kerry Evelyn
I love love. The idea of it, the feeling of it, the crazy butterfly fluttery reactions to it, the gestures associated with it, and the fact that it can both bring you to your highest highest high and destroy you in an instant.
But that’s life, isn’t it?
Love is powerful.
So I write about it.
Naturally, I write romance novels. I didn’t intend to. Oh, no, I was going to write historical women’s fiction because that’s what I read and what my favorite authors wrote.
I tried. I really did. But women’s fiction can be so darn depressing.
I needed my characters to have a happily-ever-after.
