Episode #96 From the Author’s Desk – Stories, Seasons & What’s Next

In this special solo episode of Miles Beyond the Page, host and author Michelle Miles introduces From the Author’s Desk, a new occasional audio-only format that offers a more personal look at stories, writing, reading, and the creative life.

Launching October 1, Michelle looks at the way the changing seasons can influence the stories readers reach for and previews three themed months ahead on Miles Beyond the Page. October embraces spooky season with suspense, supernatural stories, mysteries, and shadowy fantasy—plus a special Halloween episode featuring some delightfully questionable scenarios involving Michelle’s own characters.

November shifts toward stories of home, connection, and gratitude, culminating in a Thanksgiving episode, The Stories I’m Thankful For, exploring the gifts writing gives us that can’t be measured by sales, rankings, or numbers. Then December brings holiday romance, winter fantasy, comforting tropes, magic, and a Christmas Day episode celebrating Christmas storytelling—and determining which characters absolutely should not be invited to Christmas dinner.

Michelle also looks ahead to the New Year with The Writer’s Reset: Looking Back, Dreaming Forward, an episode focused not on resolutions, but on reflection, possibility, and deciding what comes next.

🎧 Pull up a chair at the Author’s Desk and join Michelle for a celebration of changing seasons, the stories that belong to them, and all the creative possibilities waiting just beyond the page.
