Actor, author, and musician Bethany Joy Lenz joins Brian Larson on Shelf Care Society for a candid conversation about storytelling, reinvention, and learning to trust your own voice.
Bethany takes us inside “The Betrayal of Cora Wexford,” her latest novel, and the process of building a story around complicated women, secrets, loyalty, and the choices that can change the course of a life.
She also reflects on the unexpected turns of her own career, from “One Tree Hill” to becoming a bestselling memoirist with “Dinner for Vampires,” and what it has meant to tell increasingly personal stories on her own terms.
Brian and Bethany talk about writing across different forms, the freedom that comes with fiction, the relationship between creativity and identity, and what she has learned about starting over when the life you imagined changes.
Plus: the books that have stayed with Bethany, what she looks for in a great character, and a lightning round about reading, writing, and the stories she cannot stop thinking about.
Come for the books. Stay for the conversation.
