About this listen
In this inspiring episode of Finish the Damn Book, host Susie Schaefer sits down with award-winning military photojournalist Amy Forsythe, who served 18 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and later retired as a Navy Reserve public affairs officer. Amy shares the powerful journey behind her book, Heroes Live Here: A Tribute to Camp Pendleton Marines—a deeply personal project that honors the post-9/11 generation of fallen Marines through stories, photographs, and memorials.
Together, Susie and Amy explore the emotional process of writing and publishing a coffee table book, the challenges of independent publishing, and the importance of honoring service and sacrifice through storytelling. Amy also discusses how she transformed her book into a speaking platform that continues to inspire audiences across the country.
