In tonight’s live show from the Asylum, I kick off the week with author and entrepreneur S.R. Fabrico to unpack what really happens after you hit publish on a book.We talk candidly about the realities of authorship: why so many people get stuck before they start, how to push through fear and feedback, and the uncomfortable truth about book sales and marketing. Stacy shares her journey from high school math teacher and world‑level dance coach to novelist, how a personal gift for her husband became her debut, and why treating writing like a business matters.We cover practical marketing rhythms, managing expectations, building a backlist, and why persistence beats perfection. We also dive into her Southport series—character‑driven romantic suspense set in a North Carolina beach town—and her nonfiction project chronicling the history of All Star cheer. She closes with what’s next, including a meaningful fiction‑based‑on‑truth project about life after an MS diagnosis.Housekeeping highlights: ways to connect with the show, our weekly live schedule, and where to find Stacy and her books.If you’ve ever said “I want to write a book,” this episode is a nudge to start—and a roadmap to keep going after you do. Guest: S.R.
