Miles Beyond the Page | Episode 93 | Kelly O’Hearn
In this episode of Miles Beyond the Page, host Michelle Miles sits down with indie author and tarot reader Kelly O’Hearn to discuss her Arcanum series, a sweeping historical fiction love story about soulmates whose connection unfolds across multiple lifetimes.
Kelly shares how she published her first novel at age 57 after channeling eight past-life storylines through the Major Arcana tarot cards during the pandemic. With the unforgettable series tagline, “Sometimes happily ever after takes more than one lifetime,” the Arcanum books explore love, destiny, and spiritual connection across settings that include ancient Egypt, Renaissance France, and the Vatican in the late 1400s.
Michelle and Kelly also dive into her collaborative writing process with co-writer Kate Fogarty, the role of editing and beta readers, and the realities of formatting and self-publishing. Kelly discusses why she chose to delegate much of her marketing to a PR and social media team, how her tarot work began after a personal health journey, and the importance of creating without letting self-doubt get in the way.
🎧 Join Michelle and Kelly for a fascinating conversation about tarot, past lives, historical fiction, collaboration, and following the creative path wherever it leads.
