Sketches of Hope: An Architect’s Journey Through Grief with Author Kay A Oliver

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Kay A Oliver, author of the book Road to Elysium. Kay is an award-winning author, a Television Academy member, and a prominent figure in literature and entertainment. An innate storyteller with a creative spirit, Kay has illuminated her life's journey with an enduring passion for writing. Her mission is to craft captivating stories that ignite joy and engage readers with her signature easy-to-read style. Her books are irresistible page-turners, filled with unexpected twists that keep readers spellbound.

Kay's impressive portfolio includes ten acclaimed novels, and her work has been featured in "iPain Magazine" and "Orange County News" multiple times.

Her website, [KayAOliver.com], offers invaluable writing tips for aspiring authors and reflects her dedication to nurturing new talent.

In my book review, I stated Road to Elysium is a wonderful contemporary fiction novel. We meet Ken in a darkened room and learn that he is a man filled with grief. Because of his loss, his life consists of working, eating, and sleeping - though he doesn't do the last two well. But a home invasion launched by two unruly teens from a nearby neighborhood changes everything.

Although a work of fiction, I'm told that this novel is based loosely on a true story. Kay does a great job getting you to understand Ken - where he begins the journey and where he eventually ends. She allows us to see that progress isn't always linear, and that moving through grief takes time, patience, and understanding.

If you like a story that delves into love, friendship, family, loss and grief, and personal growth, then this is a story for you.
