On this week’s episode of Enneagram IRL, we meet with Kate Hallock, a writer who loves taking non-fiction topics and turning them into engaging fiction. Her Debut novel, Nine Ways to Die: An Enneagram Murder Mystery, takes the concepts of the Enneagram, and displays them in the fun puzzle of a murder mystery. Kate lives in Peachtree City, Georgia where she drives a golf cart everywhere usually with at least one of her three daughters in tow, sometimes her husband and occasionally their scruffy dog. She spends most of her free time inventing worlds and characters and writing about them. Luckily, she can do a lot of it in her head while she runs carpool, shops for groceries, and endlessly sorts socks. This is part one of this two part book club series!
