Do a little happy dance, we've made it to episode 10! Today's discussion was actually the first interview I did for the Page Turners podcast and was with the New York Times AND USA Today best selling author, P.C. Cast. I read her series The House of Night growing up and it was sort of a dream come true to pick her brain about being an author and literacy rates. Give it a listen and fan girl alongside me!
