A Making Sense Press Podcast
The Author Behind the Words
Premieres January 21, 2027
New episodes twice a month on Thursdays.
Hosted by Lisa Tarves
Every book has a story — and so does the person who wrote it. Join Lisa Tarves for conversations with authors about their books, their writing journeys, and the experiences that inspired their words.
About the Podcast
Real conversations. Real stories.

The book and what it's about

The writing journey
From first idea to finished manuscript — the process, the challenges, and what kept them going.
The story behind the story
The personal experiences, turning points, and moments that made the book possible.
