AI is incredible. They can teach you how to fry an egg and even write a poem, pirate style.

But it knows nothing about your work. Slackbot is different. It doesn't just know the facts.

It knows your schedule. It can turn a brainstorm into a brief and it doesn't need to be taught.

Because Slackbot isn't just another AI.

It's AI that knows your work as well as you do.

Hello, getbook listeners.

A quick note from yours truly, Jen, before you get to hear this week's handsell interview.

Due to wibbly wobbly, timie-wimmyness, this was planned to air after the author's publication date,

but it's actually airing slightly before.

So you'll hear it before the book is officially out.

But the nice part is that the book comes out on September 6th, which is just a

handful of days after this comes out. So it's not, you don't have too long to wait. Apologies for

the confusion, and please enjoy. Hello and welcome to the hand cell, where interesting people tell us about books that they think that we should read.

I'm Jen Northington.

I'm coming to you from Book Riot.

And today's guest is Carolyn Hwin. Welcome, Carolyn.

Hi, Jen. It's so nice to be here. Thank you for having me. You're so welcome. I'm so glad you could join us.

So you are, you're from California. You studied journalism and human-centered design, which I might need to hear more about in a minute.

And you have been inspired by your family's history as Vietnamese refugees as well as your stories.

So this is your first novel.

The Fortunes of Jaded Women is your very first novel. Congratulations.
