We apologize for the audio quality in this episode. We recorded in a different space than normal which had some background noise, and also parts of the recording were corrupted and needed to be re-recorded later. Bear with us! We’ll be back to our normal podcast recording space next episode!
Ryan interviews YA author Virginia Macgregor on the creative process, large families, and how she comes up with her character's (and children's) beautiful names. Her newest book, "As Far As the Stars" out now!; Plus, our Current reads and (so, so many) upcoming book events. Happy Summer!
