Author Interview with Alice McVeigh: Hearing a Symphony in Every Word — Inspirational Indie Authors Podcast

My ALLi author guest this week is Alice McVeigh, who also goes by the pen name Spaulding Taylor when she writes science fiction. But those two names are only two aspects of a multidimensional talent. She's a ghostwriter, an editor, and a performer whose voice has peaks and valleys, like that of a musician. In fact the music you hear right now, is Alice McVeigh playing the cello. I'll let Alice begin to talk about her journey.

  1. What an amazing portfolio career, morphing from one art form to another : so love your adaptability Alice – and your ability to bounce back from adversity and rejection

    1. Thanks so much for your kind comment, Tom! – I really appreciate it…

      And this was partly why I ‘came back’… There was a part of me that still felt unanswered.

      But, I’m thrilled to add that – only today!!!! – my new novel won the honour of a Kirkus’ STARRED review in 2021- which only 102 books- in all the genres – did, in 2020.

      Am feeling very very lucky, tonight!!! #keeppinchingmyself #LastStarsStar
