## Resource

On the podcast Today, I’m joined by someone whose journey into creativity, honesty, and self-expression is as compelling as the stories he writes. Roger Wilson Crane rediscovered his passion for writing later in life, a spark that first appeared when he wrote and directed a school play at just fourteen, but truly reignited in 2020 when encouraged by his wife Victoria, finally gave himself permission to become the creative he’d always wanted to be. That decision led to his debut novel, Certified , published in 2021. The book not only became a Amazon bestseller, it went on to win multiple awards, including the prestigious 2021 International CIBA Mark Twain Grand Prize for Humour and Satire and a Bronze Medal in the 2022 Readers’ Favorite International Book Awards. It's a conversation filled with honesty, heart, resilience, and the courage it takes to tell your truth. I’m so excited to share it with you.
