A Novelist Follows Her Heart to Success [Podcast #003]
International bestselling novelist Kristin Harmel joins host Kelly Galea to talk about her career, her newest novel, and the way she turned her passion into her business by learning to listen to her instincts, follow her heart, and make decisions for the right reasons.
Kristin Harmel is the international bestselling author of seven novels, including her most recent, The Sweetness of Forgetting, which is out now from Simon & Schuster. It’s the story of a Cape Cod bakery owner who discovers that her grandmother, who now has Alzheimer’s, actually has a secret history – and a lost love – buried in Holocaust-era Paris. Kristin’s other novels include Italian for Beginners and After. She’s the travel expert on the nationally syndicated morning television show The Daily Buzz, and she’s also a longtime freelance magazine writer. She lives in Orlando, Fla.

p.s. Here’s the quote I referenced towards the end of the episode that I just couldn’t seem to remember!
“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan.
And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.”
– Jim Rohn
