Everyone has a story tell and the people on this show have published theirs. I talk to authors about the stories they write and the underlying fire at the heart of their writing.
What is it that brings writers to the page? Is it contagious? Permanent? Listen along to find out as authors of all sorts from children's fiction to adult nonfiction share why they write.

Nerd Out with Gina Trailer
New podcast alert! I do still have 2 historic episodes of Getting to the Heart of Why We Write that I plan to drop here in the next few weeks, but stay tuned for my new podcast: Nerd Out with Gina.
Each episode is a different topic to geek out about. A few on my list are Monsters, Billy the Kid, and Biological Warfare. It will be dropping in a new feed with the show's title. But, I'll put the first one or two on here so you can check it out before heading over there.
Thank you to everyone who was on Getting to the Heart of Why We Write. I loved doing this show and spending so many hours talking to authors about their passion for writing. I stepped away due to some family issues and am hoping to now be back on a semi-regular podcasting schedule.
Hopefully those of you who enjoyed this show will want to nerd out with me over at my new feed. Thank you!
