In this episode, we were joined by USA Today best-selling author Iris Bolling, who has been self-publishing her works for the last seventeen years! Iris is the author of multiple series, including many best-selling romantic suspense series. Iris was also the producer and writer behind The Heart, a TV series that spanned for two seasons, based off her books. Further, she was the executive producer and screenwriter for Deadly Sexy, a film based on the work of Beverly Jenkins. Iris has won multiple awards for her writing and continues to expand her horizons with more film production projects.
We get into how Iris’s writing career began, Iris’s love of learning, how she creates opportunities for herself (and for others), how she plots her books and develops her characters, producing her first audiobook, writing for film and television, and much more! We had a great time talking to Iris and learned a lot from her storied career.
