Sometimes, we have unexpected conversations in the Bunker. That’s exactly what happened when author Chevy Stevens stopped by to talk with Brad about her latest thriller, Dark Roads. The two bonded over a shared love of the outdoors, a rural upbringing, and their battle with anxiety and depression.
That last part spurred a twenty-minute discussion about the difficulties of creating while taking care of their mental health.
About Chevy Stevens
Chevy grew up on a ranch on Vancouver Island and she still lives on the island with her husband and daughter. For most of her adult life she worked in sales, first as a rep for a giftware company and then as a Realtor. While holding an open house one afternoon, she had a terrifying idea that became the inspiration for Still Missing.
Chevy eventually sold her house and left real estate so she could finish the book. Still Missing went on to become a New York Times bestseller and winner of the International Thriller Writers Award for Best First Novel.When Chevy isn’t working on her next book, she’s hiking with her two dogs on her favorite mountain trails and spending time with her family. Chevy’s current obsessions are vintage airstreams, all things mid-century modern, Hollywood memoirs, and stand-up comedians–not necessarily in that order.
Her books, including Those Girls, which Stephen King called “incredibly scary,” have been published in more than thirty countries and optioned for film. Her seventh novel, Dark Roads, was just released.
