Hi, I'm Zivie Owens, the creator and host of the award-winning podcast that you're listening to right now.

Thank you so much called Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

It is a daily podcast 365 days a year, and each day we talk to an author about all of the things related to their career, their book, their life, and more in 30 minutes or

less, because who has time? I am now an author myself, although I wasn't when I started this

podcast, and you can get my new memoir, Bookends, a memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature,

wherever books are sold starting July 1st, and my children's book, Princess Charming. You can

learn more about me at Zibby Owens.com,

but really you're here to learn more about the authors,

and that is what we're going to do.

Also, be sure to check out all the other podcasts

in the ZCast Podcast Network.

You can learn more at ZCastnetwork.com

and definitely check out those shows as well.

Thank you. at Zcastnetwork.com and definitely check out those shows as well. Hi, podcast listeners.

I just wanted to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving week.

I hope you're catching up on all the back episodes

that you may have missed now that you're driving all over

or flying or doing whatever. And I just wanted to say how truly, truly, truly, truly thankful I am

for all of you, for all of you tuning in regularly listening to these episodes. I'm thankful for all

the authors who have come on as guests and who continue to listen.

And just everybody who has made this podcast really take off and enabled me to do things like start a publishing company and open a bookstore and do all the things I'm doing.
