Ep. 991 – From Courtrooms to Chaotic Cosmic Adventures with Mina Brower (@Minabrowerbooks)


“We live in such a fast-tracked consumerism sort of society where we have to have the next best thing immediately. And I think a lot of writing can suffer if we think about producing books that way.” – Mina Brower
Today’s featured award-winning author is a mom, wife, lawyer, and mentor, Mina Brower. Mina and I had a fun on a bun chat about her “Daughters of Chaos” book series, her journey as a first-generation immigrant from Mexico, her writing rituals, and more!!
Key Things You’ll Learn:
What inspired Mina to become a writer
How therapy reignited her passion for creative writing after her first child
How Mina balances her legal career and family life with writing fantasy and sci-fi novels
Her advice for aspiring writers
How her gaming days influence some of her work
