  • Why Author Shenanigans Started, & the end of season 1

    Author Shenanigans Podcast has been going for almost a year! It's been a year with a LOT of reading (110 so far on my Goodreads tracker and that doesn't include the numerous books I started and didn't finish), and meeting some amazing authors! I feel so blessed to have met these ladies and gents and introduce them and their stories to you. 

    Check out this episode for giveaway details. Yes, I'm making you listen to know how to enter! But one important thing for the giveaway - my instagram handle is @author_shenanigans_podcast. The link to that is www.instagram.com/author_shenanigans_podcast.

    I can't wait to see your giveaway entries! One lucky person will win a paperback of their choice from one of our season 1 authors. I'll even pull some strings and see if I can get it signed for you ;). Giveaway closes January 31, 2022.

    Thanks for being a part of season 1! I'd love to hear which authors you found and loved because of this show. Hit me up on instagram or contact me through my website www.authorshenaniganspodcast.com. Also if you have an author that you LOVE, let me know! I'll try to have him/her on the show, and you could even co-host with me if you'd like.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
