On today’s episode of First Dates and Soulmates, we are welcoming author K. Stirling!

Listen in as Meg, Nikki, and K talk:

* how K’s writing career started as a dare

* whether or not billionaires deserve romance

* navigating the ever-changing social media landscape

* when you’re stuck, you just need characters to fight and fornicate!
