Friends & Fiction

Friends & Fiction with Ann Garvin & Ally Carter


Listen Later

On this episode we’ve got two fabulous and super fun authors in store for you!

Ann Garvin is the USA Today bestselling author of five funny and sad novels about people who do too much in a world that asks too much from them. A nurse with her Ph.D., Anne taught for thirty years in the University of Wisconsin system and currently teaches creative writing at Drexel University. The founder of Tall Poppy Writers and a sought-after speaker on writing, leadership and health, Ann is committed to helping women writers succeed. We welcome her back to the show to discuss her latest novel, THERE’S NO COMING BACK FROM THIS (Lake Union, Aug 8), which our own Kristy Woodson Harvey calls “impossible to put down” and gave “five huge stars!”

We are thrilled to welcome Ally Carter to the show for the first time. Ally is the bestselling author of the Gallagher Girls series, and, for more than a decade, her name has been synonymous with hilarious action-adventure and heart-pounding romance for young adults. Her first original screenplay, A Castle for Christmas, was recently No.1 on Netflix. Now she is bringing her trademark style and voice to the adult rom-com market with her new novel THE BLONDE IDENTITY (Avon, Aug 8). She joins us from her home in Oklahoma to discuss the book that Ali Hazlewood calls “unique, delightful, hilarious, unputdownable,” and which Susan Elizabeth Phillips says is “a delightful, delicious joy ride of a romp!"
