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 Zibby Mag where we have lots of wonderful essays and lifestyle

features.

That's at Zibbingag.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 it. Lottie Hazel is the author of Piglet, a novel. Lottie is a

writer, contemporary literature scholar, and board game designer, which we talked all about, living in Warwickshire, England.

She holds a PhD in creative writing from Lauborough University, where she studied food writing in 21st century fiction.

Piglet is her first novel. And watch out, you will be hungry after listening.

I feel like I'm seeing it constantly. I'm pleased that it's not just you. It's hard to know, I think, when you're the author. If it is in as many places as you think it is, or whether you're just very much in your own echo chamber. So I'm pleased that you're

seeing it. I'm seeing it. Yes. Please. It's exciting. It feels quite surreal, I think,

because it's my first book, so it feels very odd as if I'm observing it happening to someone else.

But theoretically, I'm excited.

I know what you mean. Okay, well, tell listeners, what is Piglet about?

Okay, so I describe Piglet as a story of appetite and aspiration, and it follows our titular Piglet in the weeks before her wedding and her fiancé confesses a terrible truth to her
