    Dec 18 2025

    Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!

    Our guest this week, N.G. Avant, is an award-winning indie author who made the leap into fiction after working in municipal politics. Her first series, Capital City, grew out of her experience in politics. She joins us to discuss her new book Nexus, which is the first book in her new series, Witchy Women. This series continues N.G,'s focus on strong female leads, resilience, and empowerment while weaving in themes of politics, justice, and magic. Women, their journeys, their friendships, and their resilience are at the heart of both series. Tune into the discussion to hear how writing has been a huge part of N.G.'s healing while shaping her voice and her process.
