On this episode, I talk with Ridley Pearson, the NYT #1 Bestselling author of the Kingdom Keepers series. We talk about the process he follows for writing books, the time he spends at Disney parks conducting research (often after-hours), and how middle grade has evolved over the course of his writing career.

I love audiobooks! If you do, too, consider switching to Libro.fm, a platform that supports indy bookstores.
