My guest today is Alison Heller.
Alison is a lawyer who left her law practice to become a
writer. Alison has published 3 books, and her most recent
novel “The Neighbor’s Secret” just came out this year. We
discuss her book, her writing practice, what it took for her to
leave her 14-year NYC law career, and how we treat ourselves in the
process of writing, working and living. I am just as fascinated
with the relevant themes she weaves into her novel, as I am with
Alison as a person. Alison’s gracious, honest, open, curious
exuberance will inspire you to read her books, too.
