Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where we explore a deeper understanding of the humanity,

0:07.9

value, intellect, and creativity of women. I'm your host, Erin Kunkel. And I'm your co-host, Sarah Stone Street.

Our guest on the podcast today is K.B. Hoyle. K.B. is an award-winning young adult author of 10 books published so far, and a couple more ready to go. So we will be talking about that. KB. is a public speaker. She's also a creative writing instructor,

0:40.6

and she's a contributor for Christ and pop culture, which we will be talking about today in our

interview, and we hope you'll go and read some of the articles that she's written. We love some of the
