In this episode of "Direct or Detour," we sit down

with writer, entrepreneur, and academic researcher Rhonda Parker Taylor. Born

and raised in the heart of Indiana, Rhonda's path to success has taken some

unexpected turns.

From a fashion merchandising degree to a thriving business

in training and development, Rhonda's career has spanned diverse fields. But

it's her debut novel, the suspenseful crime thriller "Crossroads,"

that has earned her acclaim from bestselling authors and Hollywood stars alike.

Rhonda shares how her love of writing and research ultimately led her to publish her first book later in life - and why she sees her unconventional journey as a strength, not a weakness. We dive into her experiences as an entrepreneur, educator, and lifelong learner, uncovering the

moments of serendipity and purposeful pivots that shaped her success.

Whether you're considering a career change or simply curious about the road less traveled, Rhonda's story reveals that sometimes the most rewarding destinations aren't the ones we initial plan.
