Who do we actually send to war… and who never goes?

From the Vietnam War to the current conflict involving Iran, this episode takes a deeper look at the patterns we don’t always talk about. Through personal reflection, history, and the emotional lens of my novel Who We Were, we move beyond headlines and into the real cost of war—on families, on futures, and on the people who never had the power to choose.

I also share my father’s story—how he was a conscientious objector, tried to take a different path, and was drafted anyway. It’s a reminder that not everyone who goes to war wanted to be there… but many didn’t have a choice.

This isn’t just about war.
It’s about people.
It’s about love interrupted.
It’s about the conversations we need to have—between the lines.

✨ I’ll be doing my best to bring you weekly episodes, all while working full-time, taking care of my college-aged kids, two dogs, two cats, and a garden… and somewhere in there, I’ll try to get some sleep.

In this episode, I share the highlights of our trip—cheering at the Tournament of Kings show at Excalibur, exploring the Shark Reef Aquarium where I even touched a stingray, and dancing all night to a live band playing nostalgic hits from the 60s, 70s, and 80s at The Tuscany Hotel.

You’ll also hear about the powerful experiences of visiting The Bodies Exhibit and The Titanic Exhibit, stumbling upon a young boy playing a moving violin ballad on the street, and slipping into a hidden prohibition-style gem—the 1923 Bourbon Bar. We wrapped it all up with classic Vegas glamour at Vegas the Show and a determined mission to find one last bowl of hot and sour soup before heading home.

We recorded this on day 8 of a 10-day road trip—starting in the Antelope Valley, traveling up to the Oregon Coast in Yachats, then making our way back down through Jenner, Guerneville (where we got completely soaked), and Sacramento… before finally heading home.

And it didn’t stop there.

After all of that, I still had to:
⏰ Wake up at 5:30 AM for work
🎧 Edit and publish this episode BEFORE going to bed

This is what chasing creativity actually looks like.

In this episode of Between the Lines, we talk about:

• The harsh reality of indie publishing (including a book going out of print)
• Why being a great writer isn’t enough in today’s world
• Bringing stories to life through immersive audio scenes
• New authors, collaborations, and unexpected creative connections
• The passion that keeps creators going—even when life gets exhausting

If you’re building something, creating something, or chasing a dream… this one’s for you.

💬 We’re rooting for you—always.

In this solo episode, author Jeanette Huffman answers the questions many readers think—but rarely ask. From the emotional weight of writing Finding Bonnie to the hidden truths inside Abigail and The Soul Keepers, Jeanette speaks openly about grief, motherhood, faith, trauma, and the mysterious connections that shape her characters—and herself.

Why do her stories blend myth, memory, and heartbreak? Why did Eydís have to die? And does Jeanette believe in ghosts?

This isn’t just behind the scenes—it’s beneath the surface.

Tune in for unfiltered reflections, spiritual honesty, and a few truths you didn’t know you needed.

Welcome to the very first public reading from my upcoming supernatural psychological horror novel, RACHƎL.

After sharing the first teaser trailer for the novel, several readers asked if I had ever considered recording an audiobook.

Honestly... I hadn't.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that RACHƎL feels different from anything I've written before. The voice feels natural. The characters feel familiar. Hollow Creek feels like a place I can step into every time I read.

So I decided to experiment.

This episode is the prologue of RACHƎL—a first glimpse into the world of Hollow Creek and a chance for you to help me decide whether this story should become a full audiobook.

I'd genuinely love your feedback.

After listening...

📖 Would you rather read the novel?

🎧 Would you listen to the audiobook?

❤️ Or would you do both?

RACHƎL is currently in its final editing stages while my beta readers continue helping me polish every chapter.

📅 The novel is scheduled for release on October 31, 2026, with plans for availability through Amazon and, hopefully, IngramSpark for bookstores and libraries.

If enough listeners enjoy these readings, I'd love to continue sharing more chapters—and maybe even record the complete audiobook.

Thank you for being part of this journey into Hollow Creek.

📚 Amazon Author Page:
https://www.amazon.com/author/jeanette-huffman

RACHƎL is a supernatural psychological horror novel set in the fictional town of Hollow Creek, Pennsylvania, where old ground remembers more than people do, forgotten stories refuse to stay buried, and some places never truly let you leave.

Hosted by Jeanette Huffman & Rich Kopez

Exploring books, storytelling, mythology, writing, publishing, and the creative journey behind every story.

Along the way, the conversation takes some fun detours, including favorite mummy movies, Brendan Fraser, dogs, Agatha Christie, and a friendly debate over whether the Canadian or American side of Niagara Falls is better.

This episode also features a dramatic audio scene inspired by City of the Muse, bringing part of the novel to life through voice performances.

Together, they explore the idea that art belongs to the river of life—that creativity isn’t something we own, but something that moves through us, shaping how we express, connect, and understand the world around us.

Chrisopher shares insights from his personal journey, the deeper meaning behind his music, and how life experiences have influenced the way he creates.

His sound reflects that same depth—intimate, reflective, and emotionally driven, rooted in indie folk and indie pop influences where storytelling and feeling take center stage.

💭 For listeners to reflect on:

• Does creativity come from within, or is it something we tap into?Have you ever experienced a moment where something you created felt bigger than yourself?
• What does art mean to you?

Laura opens up about the difference between big‑T trauma and little‑t trauma, how a dog attack became the catalyst for confronting her own fear, and what it means to heal through honesty and self‑reflection.

This episode dives into the heart of creative vulnerability — where storytelling meets survival, and art becomes a mirror for the soul.
