Thriller author Marie Still on the secret to building a second author career (and killing it)

Do you want to pivot into being a full time author, but worried that you won't be able to juggle kids, writing and the job that currently pays your bills? Don't. Marie Still is a mother of four, an executive VP at a major consumer electronics company and two years ago, decided she really wanted to give that writing thing a serious try. She now has three book contracts and her debut thriller, We Are All Lying, is now available on pre-order from Rising Action Publishing. Her secret? Knowing when to not give a damn. In this episode, Marie shares how she landed her publisher, how she balances between a big family, a demanding corporate job to produce not only a lot of words but an impressive social media presence--without totally losing her mind.   Connect with Marie via her website at https://mariestill.com/ or via Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/mariestillwrites/.
