My guest is Marnie Vinge, a podcaster and novelist from Norman, Oklahoma. She is the creator of Eerie Okie, a podcast that explores urban legends, true crime, hauntings, and weird or dark history in the state of Oklahoma. Part of her platform is speaking about her battle for her mental health. Her writing ranges from short horror stories to contemporary romantic suspense novels, all of which are primarily set in Oklahoma, several of which will be available next year.
In this episode, Marnie shares intimately about her struggles and triumphs with mental health. She describes the pivotal highs and lows in her journey towards wellness and a meaningful life. Marnie also reveals the interesting backstory of what got her started in podcasting, along with some of the most intriguing and unusual moments from Eerie Okie. She's completed several novels and has just published her first one. Gunshy is a contemporary romance novel involving a fictional mass shooting at a country music concert due for release in November 2019. Marnie talks about the events she's been attending, other podcasts she's involved with, and her ambitious plans for the new year.
