Ep 129: Exploring Michigan with Author Katherine Karrol
From the hills and trees of the northern lower peninsula to the allure of Mackinac Island and Lake Michigan’s ocean-like shores, this week’s author, Katherine Karrol, introduces us to Michigan.
Discover how Katherine transitioned from wanting to write a funny, self-help book about mental health, into fiction, all while balancing her day job as a therapist. Inspired by chapter prompts during a Wi-Fi-free night, Katherine Karrol found her fiction-writing spark. Her journey proves that sometimes, creativity blooms in the most unexpected moments.

Meet Katherine Karrol
Katherine Karrol is both a fan and an author of sweet, clean Christian romance stories about imperfect people with imperfect lives. Because she does not possess the ability or desire to put a good book down and generally reads them in one sitting, she writes books that can be read in the same way.
Her books are meant to entertain and even possibly inspire the reader to take chances, trust God, and laugh at life as much as possible. Most of the people she interacts with in her professional life have absolutely no idea that she writes these books, so by reading this, you agree to keep her secret.
