I love Becky Karush’s literary podcast, Read To Me. I love her voice and her ability to distill essence from a short passage of a longer work. I learn something every time I listen. I highly recommend that you sign up for her offerings. Always short. Always delightful. Always insightful.
Today I am honored to share Day 3 of SPREE WEEK on Read To Me wherein Becky reads a passage from — ta-da! — my novel Other Wise. Apologies for the blatant self-promotion but I believe her take on any piece of writing is worth a listen.
I was humbled as I listened to her delicious voice read this scene and discuss, as only Becky can, what she loves about the writing. She has given me renewed insight into my own characters, my own words, and my sometimes unconscious choices. She has brought to the surface the work of my inner writer — that wise part of the writing self always present and contributing.
Please consider signing up for regular doses of Becky’s brilliance. You won’t regret it. And check out her Gateless writing salons. She is a truly gifted facilitator.

Mary Lou!! This was fabulous. What a close reading she did of your characters. And is it true that your second book is almost ready?
I am going to re-read Otherwise, because it is time, but also so I can be refreshed with the plot and ready for the nect book.
You are a wonder.
Much love and admiration,
Beth
