Summary

Guest host Julie Chavez interviews debut author Neely Tubati-Alexander about Love Buzz, a sparkling and serendipitous rom-com about a chance romantic encounter at a Mardi Gras bachelorette party and the chaos it unleashes in the protagonist's life. Neely talks about love at first sight, grief, mom guilt, writing as a "pantser", finding her creative flow during COVID, and making time to write with toddlers. She also shares how she gave heart and depth to her “rom-com” and where she’s at with book number two!
