Lady of the Lake (Prologue) by Katie McDougall

Today’s show is a special edition where we hear the prologue for a work-in-progress by local Nashville writing fixture, Katie McDougall. 

It’s Allison Bosch’s sixtieth birthday and she’s hiking a seldom-traveled ridge in the San Juan Mountains where her husband died sixteen years prior. What happens when her dog, Jez, encounters a mountain goat will leave you wanting to read the next chapter. After the reading, we talk with Katie about her teaching background, writing method, working with agents on this novel-in-progress, and about The Porch, a Nashville non-profit that support writers through education and community.
