After a 30-year Marriage ended, most people wouldn’t buy a house alone in rural France. Roberta Samuels did and then wrote four books about it.
Roberta is an author, painter, and lifelong Francophile who studied at the Sorbonne, led small-group tours through the hidden corners of France, and ultimately traded her old life for a medieval townhouse in the southwest.
In this conversation with Brigitte Cutshall, Roberta shares how a COVID-era writing course unlocked a creative second act, why her mystery novels are packed with real-world issues like immigration and stolen art, and the one mindset shift every aspiring writer needs.
3 Takeaways:
(1) Reinvention is a choice.
(2) The richest stories come from real life.
(3) Start with patience, not perfection.
