Emma St. Clair is a podcaster, USA Today bestselling author, and dear friend of mine. Emma likes her heroines sassy and their struggles to be real. You’ll find happy endings, yes, but a lot of mess along the way– and maybe some laughs. Just like real life. Emma was personable and full of great information, and I loved talking with her about writing in different genres, her biggest tips for authors, and the importance of “getting over yourself,” as she says.

Aleatha Romig is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author who lives in Indiana. Before she became a full-time author, she worked days as a dental hygienist and spent her nights writing. Now, when she’s not imagining mind-blowing twists, she likes to spend her time with her family and friends.

Aleatha was such an inspiration. I loved chatting with her about her motivation for writing and how it can be an escape from the real world. We discussed everything from anti-heroes (and the strong heroines required to love them) to the changes she’s seen in the industry since she began publishing in 2011.
