Hi, I'm Zibi Owens, and you're listening to Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

This 30-minute podcast features a new author interviewed by me every single day, 365 days a year, for about 30 minutes.

I am also the publisher for Zibi Books, which publishes 12 books a year in fiction and memoir.

Our books are already out now.

You can check it out on ZippyBooks.com.

And we have a magazine called Zibi Mag where we have lots of wonderful essays and lifestyle

features.

That's at Zibbymag.com.

We have classes at Zippy Classes.com.

And I recently opened a bookstore in L.A.

called Zibby's Bookshop at 1-1-1-3 Montana Avenue at 11th Street in San Monica.

I hope that you are able to enjoy some of our other offerings.

But this here podcast is the basis of all of it and started in 2018.

And no matter what I do, this is basically my favorite thing. Enjoy. Today I'm re-releasing my episode with Ellen Hilderbrand

because she is the most prolific, amazing author. And by the way, her books cannot stay on the

shelves at Zibby's bookshop. So you should definitely listen to this. She's been a huge help to Zippy

books and is on our advisory board and it's just such a rock star. So I hope you enjoy this episode

where you get to know a lot about her. Ellen Hildebrand is a best-selling author of

26 novels, including 28 Summers and the Paradise series. The latest book, Troubles in Paradise,

is what we're talking about today. And she has a new book coming out called Golden Girl. She is a six-year

breast cancer survivor and currently lives on Nantucket. Welcome, Ellen. Thank you so much for coming on moms. Don't have time to read books. Oh, thank you, Zippy. Thank you so much for having me. It's my pleasure. I know that you and I have been conversing on Instagram about various different crazy things that are happening in life. Plus, of course, you have all of your own books to

discuss as well. So I don't know. We have so much to talk about. I don't even know where to start.
