The Author Wheel Season 4 Episode 2

Overcoming depression and finding your purpose in writing books…

Books provide an escape. I think most writers know and appreciate this, but sometimes we forget our books reach people on a fundamental level, giving them an experience they can’t find in the real world.

Today’s guest, Tonya Kappes, leans into a desire to help one reader each week, and in so doing, has found massive success reaching thousands of readers. With over 180 books published, she is an incredibly savvy author-preneur who never loses sight of her core purpose.

Amazon All Star Author Tonya Kappes has written more than 180 southern cozy mysteries, all of which have graced numerous bestseller lists, including USA Today and Woman’s World Book Club pick twice. Best known for stories charged with southern charm, emotion and humor and filled with flawed characters, her novels have garnered reader praise and glowing critical reviews. She lives with her husband in northern Kentucky. Now that her four boys have flown out of the nest, Tonya writes full-time in her camper!
