Katey Schultz Weaves Together the Lives of Three in War-Torn Afghanistan in “Still Come Home” In this episode, we visit with Katey Schultz, multiple award-winning author of “Still Come Home,” a novel surrounding the lives of three characters in Afghanistan: an Afghan girl with dreams and ambitions beyond the confines of her misogynistic society, an American soldier about to embark on one last mission, and a man working for the Taliban—not for any specific hatred of Americans, but because the money is good and he wishes to provide to his young wife. The lives of Aaseya, Nathan Miller, and Rahim (Aaseya's husband) are forever intertwined as the Taliban hatch a dangerous plot, and a simple mission for humanitarian aid turns deadly. Abigail DeWitt, author of “News of Our Loved Ones,” had this to say about the book, “Schultz's ability to enter into these radically different lives is nothing short of breathtaking. There is tragedy here, but also humor, moral blindness, along with deep courage. And the desert holds it all.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network

Katey Schultz went to college to study philosophy and become a memoirist. Then one day, out of nowhere, one short sentence popped into her mind. Jet was bull tired, hound dog tired. And that sent her down a rabbit hole, one sentence, one story at a time, into the world of fiction. "Nonfiction is always there for me. It's how I make sense of the world, through journaling or writing personal essays that might never leave my own desk," Schultz said. "But fiction was enthralling because I could ask questions and imagine answers with precision and heart, so sort of combine my imagination with research, and then find the middle ground of realist literary fiction where, in some ways, the truths I was writing in fiction were truer than real life."

My guest today had a business that resembles so many: one that required her constant input, expertise, and care just to stay afloat. While she felt like it was already a success in many ways, Katey Schultz realized that her business wasn't really meeting her needs. She wanted more of a challenge. She wanted more time. She wanted more money. So Katey started to look at how to scale her offer, a monthly mentorship for writers. This conversation is the story of her journey to do that. We talk through the mindset shifts she needed to make, the experiments she ran, and the aha! moment that made her realize she'd scaled the wrong thing.
