This week on Authors Unbound, we talk with Aimee Parkison to discuss her forthcoming collection Body of Evidence, arriving October 2025 in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Rooted in personal witness and crafted with precision, the book confronts the realities of domestic violence while also creating space for healing and remembrance. Parkison shares insights into her writing process, the discoveries she makes in revision, and the responsibility of giving voice to experiences too often left unspoken.

Don’t miss this moving conversation on resilience, storytelling, and the power of breaking silence.

This is Aimee Parkison Unbound.
