Happy 2026! What a great episode for the new year! In this episode, I chat with Phaedra Patrick, the internationally bestselling author of THE CURIOUS CHARMS OF ARTHUR PEPPER. Phaedra discusses the novel, her writing process, charm bracelets, and how Arthur learns that it’s never too late and he isn’t too old!
Phaedra describes her writing shed, her fun new thing, and why she tends to write heartwarming novels about ordinary people who discover the extraordinary in their everyday lives. Phaedra’s stories are about curiosity, reinvention, and the courage to try new things—all themes close to my heart!
