Are you looking for the perfect summer read? Look no further than everyone is lying to you,

the Tradwife murder mystery that everyone is talking about. I would be lying if I said that I didn't

which is coming out next summer. And that is what brings me to this episode. This week,

instead of dropping a new podcast in your feed, I'm dropping an author talk, an author talk

with someone who has an excellent new book coming out on Tuesday. Andy Barts,

her new thriller is the last fairy out, and it is Chef's Kiss.

Andy is a brilliant thriller author, and I brought her on for very selfish reasons, because I'm in

that phase of revisions on my new novel where I feel like everything sucks.
