Interview with Nicole Deese: Faith, Fiction, and Finding God’s Voice

In this episode, Kelly sits down with award-winning author Nicole Deese to talk about the heart behind her newest release, The Voice We Find—a powerful story of redemption, brokenness, and unexpected grace. Nicole shares how her personal journey through adoption, a season of surrender, and a surprising “yes” from God inspired her writing career’s next chapter. They talk about the beauty of saying yes when the future is unclear, how God uses our most tender places to reach others, and why Christian fiction can be a ministry of its own. If you’ve ever questioned how to balance calling and obedience—or just love a good plot twist—this episode will bless you big time!

Meet Nicole Deese

Nicole Deese is a Christy and Carol Award-winning, bestselling author of hope-filled, humorous, and heartfelt contemporary romance novels. When she’s not sorting out character arcs and story plots of her own, she can usually be found listening to an audiobook and multitasking at least four different chores at once. She’s a hoarder of sparkling water, a lover of long walks and even longer talks with friends, and a seeker of fun and adventure at all times. She lives in small-town, Idaho with her happily-ever-after hubby, two freakishly tall teenage sons, and one princess daughter with the heart of a warrior.

Bible Verse for Encouragement

Romans 8:38–39 (NKJV)
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Nicole’s New Book: The Voice We Find

Two voices. One story. A chance to rewrite their future.

Sophie Wilder returns home to California with nothing more than a failed Broadway career and a geriatric cat. Stuck working at the family winery with her egotistical brother and desperate for a way to revive her acting dreams, she takes a side gig as an audiobook narrator with Fog Harbor Books. But getting mixed up in the life of her reluctant sound engineer was never a part of her plans.

August Tate is still reeling from taking on guardianship of his teen sister. Determined to find a solution to her degenerative hearing loss and to prevent his private recording studio from going under, he agrees to produce audiobooks part-time. When Sophie breathes new life into his creativity and forms an unexpected bond with his sister rooted in their common faith, he must confront the reasons he turned away from his own or risk losing the second chance he’s only just started to believe in.
