What happens when a Navy veteran with a PhD in psychology turns novelist? Stories that heal, characters who transform, and readers who find themselves within the pages.
Dr. Audrey Ann Moses doesn't just write fiction—she creates psychological roadmaps disguised as compelling stories. In this heartfelt conversation with Dr. Jacqueline Cox, Moses reveals how her eight published novels, including the "Saved by Grace" series and "Earl Grey Chronicles," each tackle specific mental health challenges through vibrant, authentic characters.
"I let my characters write themselves," Moses explains, describing her immersive approach to developing personalities like Jane Doe from "Dead Girl Walking"—a woman whose parents named her as a cruel joke, marking her entire existence as a mistake. Through Jane's journey, readers witness the painful struggle to escape "living in the muck" and the transformative power of realizing "there is light outside the tunnel."
The conversation takes us behind the writer's curtain, exploring Moses' journey from reluctant journaler (who once burned five years of diaries from her darkest times) to published author. Her turning point came through a friend's challenge: "How do you know nobody wants to read your words if you don't give them the chance?"
Moses' unique blend of psychological expertise and deep faith infuses her approach to storytelling and her work as a Christian life coach. "Without God, nothing happens correctly," she reflects, while explaining her coaching philosophy of "unsticking" people rather than creating dependency.
Whether you're struggling with your own writing journey, searching for authentic representation of mental health in fiction, or simply craving stories with genuine spiritual depth, Dr. Moses offers wisdom that extends far beyond the page. Her mission? Creating books where readers see themselves, find practical solutions, and witness characters evolving across generations—breaking chains of negativity at their core.
