Episode 42 of the Ideas to Books Podcast features an interview with Women’s Fiction author Audrey Wick.

Meet Audrey:

Audrey Wick is a debut women’s fiction author with Tule Publishing. Her first full-length, Finding True North, released in April, and its sister story, Coming Home, releases in July. Her writing is described by the publisher as “a brand new voice in women’s fiction,” as Audrey mixes small-town contemporary tropes with fresh, emotional storytelling. Audrey is also a writing teacher who writes. She teaches full-time as an English professor for Blinn College in Texas. Her writing has appeared in college textbooks published by Cengage Learning and W. W. Norton as well as in The Houston Chronicle, The Chicago Tribune, Writer’s Digest, Southern Writers, and various literary journals. Audrey believes the secret to happiness includes lifelong learning and good stories. But travel and coffee help. She has journeyed to over twenty countries—and sipped coffee at every one.

About Audrey’s new releases:

Finding True North – Life in a small town has always suited Paige Fredrick. She loves going to work near the courthouse square and riding her bike nearly anywhere she chooses. But after her divorce, she can hear her neighbors’ whispers and the gossip mill churning.

Everett Mullins has worries of his own as he finds himself back in his hometown, providing temporary care to his ailing mother while trying to run their family farm. A chance meeting reunites him with Paige, his crush from high school. But when he discovers her little white lie, he questions what they’ve started building.

As Paige makes a new life, can she find direction with Everett? Or has too much damage already been done to navigate a romantic relationship built on a lie?

Coming Home – College professor Mallory Fredrick loves her job in a city that feels like home, but after a student attacks her on social media, she loses her peace of mind and confidence. When her college offers a sabbatical, she jumps at the chance to escape to her hometown in Texas.
