Hey everyone! 😍 It's been awhile! We missed you and we're back with new weekly podcast episodes and today we're featuring Kristen Simmons and Sara Raasch, who are here with us to talk about their new book, Set Fire to the Gods! You know we ❤️ anytime we get to chat with authors here on Swoony Boys Podcast and we've had Kristen on before.
