In today's episode, I got to chat with Hanna Holt, a self-published author who just released her debut novel in February. 

Hanna is a 20-something college graduate who reignited her passion for writing after finishing school with a Bachelor's in Social Work. She is currently living in Maryland with her husband, dog, and two cats, while working towards her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. When she isn’t working full-time, studying for exams, or reading she is immersed in the romantic lives of the characters that live inside of her head.

In this episode, I have my first guest—the lovely Rory Power! Rory Power is the New York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls and Burn Our Bodies Down. She grew up in New England, where she lives and works as a crime fiction editor and story consultant for TV adaptation. She received a Masters in Prose Fiction from the University of East Anglia, and thinks fondly of her time there, partially because she learned a lot but mostly because there were a ton of bunnies on campus. 

I chat with her about her writing process, tv show recommendations, and dealing with burnout as a writer.
