Welcome to Our Hen House.

This is Jasmine Singer.

And this is Mary Ann Sullivan.

And on this week's show,

Marianne will be joined by A.E. Copenhaver,

who is one of those rare people who is writing fiction about people who care about

the animals and the planet. Oh, how I wish everyone was like this author. Isn't it just so

annoying when you're reading like a good book and they suddenly sit down, you know, the person

you kind of in love with it sits down to eat a steak. Yeah. Yeah.

A.E.'s new book, My Days of Dark Green Euphoria, is recently out from Ashland Creek Press.

I can't wait to hear this.

Yeah, I just found it such a valuable moment to be able to talk about fiction and to read

a, and of course, I read the book and to be able to talk about fiction and to read and of course I read the book and to be able

to read a book that that has characters who I can not that if the characters are perfect by any

means and we'll talk about that in the interview but that I can kind of identify with and I just wish

as you said I was just wish there were more of them on the flock bonus this week, I will be continuing that conversation with A.E. Copenhaver.

If you are a flock member, you will get a link to the bonus segment in your email on the Tuesday after this podcast episode goes up.

Or you can always find it on the flock Facebook group.

And if you are not a flock member and you can afford it,

you can join for $10 a month at our henhouse.org slash donate. Also, if you're a flock member,

please join us for our flock first Friday Zoom calls, which are once a month on the first Friday of the month at 4 p.m. Eastern. So that means that if you're listening to this right after it was published, that

we just had one yesterday. And we have some very inspiring guests and fabulous conversations
