Conversations Magazine Feature: Author Iris Bolling

by Cyrus Webb

I first became aware of award-winning author Iris Bolling in 2013. She was on Conversations LIVE discussing her book The Pendleton Rule, and it was during that visit that she discussed The Heart series with me.

Fast forward to 2014 and now the books that make up the Heart Series are the basis for the television series The Heart that premiered on the CW in Richmond, VA in Feb. of this year.

Serving as the Creator and Executive Director of the television show, Iris Bolling has assembled a team that has not only helped bring her beloved books to life but are just as invested in its success. Each week the entire cast and those supporting the project have been using social media to spread the word---and the campaign has already begun to bring The Heart to a larger audience.

There are so many things we can learn from what Iris has built through her company. The main for me is the importance of believing in yourself and never letting go of your goals and dreams.

By simply combining her love of romance and politics she has created a world that readers and now viewers can enjoy and appreciate. What a great reminder for all of us who have a vision. What is meant for you is for you.

Keep up with Iris and her upcoming projects at www.irisbolling.net. You can hear my interview with Iris and members of The Heart television series at www.tinyurl.com/theheartcastinterview.
