Kindness Is Free, Complex Romantic Relationships & More With Author T L Combs

By Blood, Shadow, and Fire By Orin Steele, A Story of Power, Choice, and Becoming

Step into the Rift with me as I sit down with author Orin Steele to talk all things By Blood, Shadow, and Fire 🔥 (out now!) In this episode, we go way beyond the book… We talk about Orin’s journey to becoming an author, the moment she realized “I can actually do this,” and what it really looks like to build a writing career with intention. We also dive into: ⚔️ Publishing outside the traditional/Amazon-heavy model 📚 Building a community instead of just an audience ❤️ How readers can truly support authors And of course… a spoiler-free peek at the book 👀 If you loved Daughter of No Worlds, The Bridge Kingdom, or A Fate Inked in Blood… you’re going to want this one on your TBR. One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation: It’s okay to change your mind—and becoming the monster in someone else’s story doesn’t make you the monster of your own. 🎧 Link to connect and get the book: https://linktr.ee/orinsteele?utm_source=linktree_profile_share
