Here is my interview with Taylor Moore. Welcome to the podcast.

Thanks for having me on Alan. It’s an honor to be on your show. And I appreciate you having me.

Thank you. Thank you so much for coming on. Your debut novel, coming up, I believe, is in a couple of weeks August 3. So it’s just right around the corner. Congrats. Since thIs your first book. How’s the whole book launch going for you? Is it how you imagined it?

Not really. There’s a lot more to it. I was used to that sort of quiet writer’s life where I just sat in my little coffee shop or in my office and just had this sort of solitary life. And now everything has become very public as you’re starting to as we’re going through this process of getting the book out there. And so, no, that was a little bit surprising for me, but at the same time, it’s fun. The book is my baby. I’m ready to get it out there.

I’m excited about it.
