What a lovely conversation between Elizabeth and author Jack Donahue. His new novel Lost on Cherry Street is coming out later this June from Willow River Press, part of Between the Lines Publishing!

As usual, the conversation wanders into really interesting and diverse territory. Grab a snack and a beverage and settle into this one!
