S5 EP245 | Rhonda Bulmer on Finding

New Love While Uncovering Old Family Secrets

​​

Hello My Happy People,

​

What happens when a teenage writing dream leads to a career filled with unexpected twists and turns? Canadian author Rhonda Bulmer joins me to discuss her journey to publication and her novel, The Widow & The Will, a story filled with family secrets, romance, and a mysterious haunting.

​

From receiving her first rejection letter at just 15 years old to building a career in public relations and freelance writing, Rhonda shares the experiences that eventually led her back to her passion for storytelling. We also explore her love for New Brunswick, the beautiful Bay of Fundy setting of her novel, and the inspiration behind its intriguing characters and supernatural mystery.

​

We had such an interesting conversation that some wonderful stories had to be cut from the final episode for time! Want to discover how Rhonda's family ghost stories influenced her writing and inspired her novel?
