I often find myself writing in the first person, which lets me share my characters’ quirks and misadventures as if they’re my own. It’s like inviting you into my mind, where the bizarre and the relatable collide in the most entertaining ways.

Jason didn’t just betray MyIesha—he betrayed the man he swore he’d become. And MyIesha didn’t just grieve a child—she grieved the version of herself that believed love could shield her from devastation. This isn’t a love story. It’s a collision. Of grief and truth. Of silence and confession. Of two souls trying to rebuild what was shattered. If you’ve ever loved through the breaking, you’ll hear yourself in their words.

Today, we’re sitting down with author, Carol Denise Mitchell to explore the full arc of her voice: from the pages of her literary work to the personal journey that shaped it. This isn’t just about Interrupted—though we’ll get there, too. It’s about the woman behind the words, the stories that shaped her, and the questions that refuse to stay quiet.
