This week, on Beyond The Page, we're having a little heart-to-heart. It's me, your host, Lora Tia, pulling back the curtain on the heart of my writing journey. From reading James Hadley Chase under the covers as a kid, to writing fantasy worlds that make you forget you live in this one, I'm sharing the highs, lows, pivots, and personal stories of being a writer. You'll hear how stories shaped me, where I love to write (spoiler: artisan lattes were involved), what fuels my genre choices, and how my life and voice seep into every stubborn, strong-willed heroine I create. Whether you're a fellow writer, a curious reader, or just here for the vibes, this is a candid, reflective, and maybe a little rambly (in the best way). Come find out where it all began…and where I hope it's going next. Next week we're back to A Trial of Thorns.
