In today’s episode of Bookish Flights, I’m joined by Katie Powner, whose brand-new novel When the Road Comes Around just released yesterday—huge congratulations to Katie!
Katie grew up on a dairy farm in the Pacific Northwest, where she spent her days climbing trees, chatting with cows, and experimenting with perms. Now living in Montana—where cows still outnumber people—Katie is a wife and a mom to the third power: biological, adoptive, and foster. She writes contemporary fiction full of heart and humanity, and she’s been storytelling for as long as she can remember.
Episode Highlights:
Katie also shares her writing routine (hint: it involves nap time) and how she’s learned to make the most of the quiet pockets in her day. This episode is a meaningful look at the beauty of everyday grace, the power of connection, and the stories that shape us. Tune in and check out Katie’s latest novel—you won’t want to miss it!
