C.D. Bennett – Romantic Suspense, Found Family & No Good Deed

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.

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.
