Okay, now back to this amazing podcast.

Today's episode has been

sponsored by Wine, Women and Words, the podcast. Wine, Women and Words is a casual show

where book lovers can pour themselves a glass of wine, kick back, and talk books, pour a glass,

and join them. It was launched in June 2016, and it's hosted by Diana, who lives in L.A. and Michelle,

who lives in Chicago, and they welcome special guests from the literary world, from authors and

editors to public speakers and everybody in between. They also select a book, which they read and

discuss throughout the month. At the end of the month, their spotlight author joins the show

for a special

hour-long interview to talk about the author's characters, plot twists, writing process, and more.

Oh my gosh, I have to like go listen to this podcast all the time. Anyway, thank you to Wine,
