Podcasting from Mom 2.0 Conference with podcaster, journalist and author, Nicole Blades.

I've been seeing this crew ALL OVER Insta this week, sharing each other's books like crazy, and I love it. It's a formalizing of the writer's community we all love and dream of and hopefully have (and we DO--it's called the #AmWriting Facebook group, and while we may not formalize the sharing of each other's work, we sure do do it). And I say, as I so often do, that one of my favorite things about being a writer is that it's so easy and wonderful to share and celebrate each other. Because for one thing, we're all in this because we love books and good writing. And for another, nobody who likes books ever just bought one book. Other links mentioned in the episode:Steven Pressfield (https://stevenpressfield.com/books/)BookPeople, Austin, TX (https://www.bookpeople.com/)#AmReadingDaisy Jones & The Six, Taylor Jenkins Reid (https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781524798628)The Accidentals, Sarina Bowen (https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781942444626)Heavy: An American Memoir, Kiese Laymon (https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781501125652)My Father's Stack of Books, Kathryn Schulz (https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/03/25/my-fathers-stack-of-books)Chase Darkness With Me: How One True-Crime Writer Started Solving Murders, Billy Jensen (https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781492685852)The Other Americans, Laila Lalami (https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781524747145)#FaveIndieBookstoreThis episode was sponsored by Author Accelerator, the book coaching program that helps you get your work DONE.

Nicole Blades is many things - journalist, author, podcaster, and mom. She's a bundle of talent and insight partnered with the gentle spirit we've come to expect from Canadians. Luckily for the U.S., she lives here now, and is coming out with her 3rd (!!!) novel this fall. I wanted to get her take on so many things, so we covered a lot in our talk. Black Panther, Wonder Woman, Game of Thrones, Hawaii 5-0, and Rachel Dolezal. Oh my! Also, please please please forgive me, Ijeoma Oluo, for not knowing the pronunciation of your name off the top of my head. Here's the article she wrote that we reference: http://www.thestranger.com/features/2017/04/19/25082450/the-heart-of-whiteness-ijeoma-oluo-interviews-rachel-dolezal-the-white-woman-who-identifies-as-black You can read a lot of Nicole's work & order her books here: https://www.nicoleblades.com Follow Nicole on social media: @nicoleblades @heysispodcast Find me too: @katiefward http://www.theenthusiasmenthusiast.com

Today on "LoveBabz LoveTalk" host Babz Rawls-Ivy talk with Author Nicole Blades about her book "The Thunder Beneath Us", and the journey of her success.

Join Liz & her guest; author Nicole Blades, while they discuss the New Year, white nonsense and Nicole’s latest book The Thunder Beneath Us. You can find Nicole’s book on Amazon, B&N or you can visit her website at www.nicoleblades.com Apologies in advance about the audio for this episode, Liz was not using her usual microphone and she’s terrible with trying to record Skype calls.

Nicole Blades sat down to take her LSATs and realized that practicing law was not how she wanted to spend the rest of her life. She has been putting words to paper since a child and an English teacher encourage her to pursue this career. All of those moments, combined with a conversation between her and a makeup artist on the set of a horrible talk show made her realize that journalism was the perfect way to be a writer as a career. As with most writers, her career path was not a straight line. She has worked at Essence Magazine, ESPN and Women’s Health. She also has an ongoing successful freelance writing career. Her latest novel, The Thunder Beneath Us, is now on bookstore shelves and we had a great conversation about the cover and wondering how and if it might change when the book hits International markets. Listen in as we discuss literature censorship, the role of race in writing and her desire for more “reflective writing instead of diverse writing.” An idea that opened my mind in multiple new directions and one that I think will do the same to you. Nicole and I both believe that we need stories and art more than ever. A few links referenced in the show that you’ll want to be sure to visit once you are done listening.
