Tess dubbed author Boo Walker "the coolest guest ever." Boo has worked as  a composer, musician, and wine  aficionado, but he eventually found his true calling as a novelist. Listen in to hear the story of how his mother-in-law served as the inspiration for his bestselling novel, The Singing Trees.  He also talks about the importance of resilience for writers and how his writing process sometimes includes giving his characters a chance to live in his head. Readers and writers alike will enjoy this one!
