Julia sits down with one of her favorite authors of all time on this week's episode, the incomparable Sarah A. Bailey.

Sarah shares her journey from indie to traditional publishing, the emotional depth behind her small-town love stories, and how she crafts complex male leads. She opens up about The Soulmate Series, how she writes romance that leaves a mark and what she's feeling as she gets ready to close out her Pacific Shores series in 2025.
