Hi, I'm Zivie Owens, the creator and host of the award-winning podcast that you're listening to right now.

Thank you so much called Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

It is a daily podcast 365 days a year, and each day we talk to an author about all of the things related to their career, their book, their life, and more in 30 minutes or

less, because who has time? I am now an author myself, although I wasn't when I started this

podcast, and you can get my new memoir, Bookends, a memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature,

wherever books are sold starting July 1st, and my children's book, Princess Charming. You can

learn more about me at Zibby Owens.com,

but really you're here to learn more about the authors,

and that is what we're going to do.

Also, be sure to check out all the other podcasts
