Kelli Stuart (Author of A Silver Willow by the Shore)
About this episode
Jordan Raynor sits down with Kelli Stuart, the award-winning author of Like a River From Its Course and A Silver Willow by the Shore, to talk about how Jordan’s epic dinner with C.S. Lewis’s stepson caused him to become one of Kelli’s biggest fans, how Kelli goes about writing exceptional fiction, and what John Grisham had to say to Kelli’s class at Baylor about why he doesn’t write “Christian fiction.” This episode also includes a bonus conversation with Cory Carlson, author of Win at Home First.
