Miles Beyond the Page | C.D. Bennett
In this episode of Miles Beyond the Page, host Michelle Miles interviews author C.D. Bennett about her award-winning romantic suspense novel, No Good Deed. Set against the rugged beauty of Colorado, the story was inspired by C.D.’s love of the outdoors and follows a loner facing impossible odds who unexpectedly discovers the power of found family.
Michelle and C.D. talk about the emotional layers of romantic suspense, reader reactions to the book, and the way genre labels can shift depending on what readers bring to a story. C.D. also shares how she became more serious about writing during the pandemic, her pantser-style creative process, and how nature walks help her reset when motivation runs low.
The conversation also explores C.D.’s publishing path with Wild Rose Press, the challenge of writing blurbs and taglines, and the marketing experiments she’s tried—from contests and social media to author networking.
🎧 Join Michelle and C.D. for an encouraging conversation about writing through uncertainty, building creative momentum, and finding success by staying passionate about the next story.
