About What are You Reading? What are You Writing? with Karen E. Osborne

What are You Reading? What are You Writing? with Peter Powers
At 14, Peter Powers was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. He went on to become a competitive marathon runner and small-town family doctor.
Then, at only 34, complications from diabetes caused him to lose his sight and face life-threatening kidney failure.
Peter joins Karen E. Osborne to discuss Open My Eyes: A Doctor's Powerful Story of Courage & Healing and the journey that followed—illness, recovery, a profound personal revelation, and a transformed understanding of healing and self-care.
They also explore Peter's experiences with medicine as both longtime patient and physician, why he decided to tell his story, and what he hopes readers will discover in it.
A conversation about resilience, survival, transformation, and hope when life changes in ways we never imagined.

Karen E. Osborne: Why I Reimagined Getting It Right Nine Years Later
Nine years after interviewing Karen E. Osborne about her debut novel, poet and memoirist Philip Robinson returns to celebrate the publication of its reimagined edition, Getting It Right: A Psychological Thriller.
This time, Philip asks the questions.
Karen reveals how her characters, Alex and Kara, inspired her to write a sequel—and why that creative journey sent her back to the original novel.
The conversation explores two sisters from dramatically different racial and economic backgrounds, the emotional wounds they carry, and the family secrets that bring their lives together.
Karen and Philip also discuss why family isn't necessarily defined by blood, the importance of finding common ground across differences, and how Karen's personal adoption experience influences her storytelling.
Plus, Karen explains why readers can start anywhere in her collection of novels—and why now is an especially good time to meet Alex and Kara.
