I've known Zach for a couple years now. In fact, he was my first paid proofreading client. I was thrilled to get to work with him, because he helped convince me that I could, in fact, make a business out of what I loved. It was wonderful to have him on the show and talk about his books, his writing process, and his tips for writing anywhere. I hope you enjoy our chat, because I sure did! And be sure to head over to https://thepickybookworm.com/zach-jeffries for show notes and links to Zach's books! Until Next Time, Friends!

Steve Westenra is a new friend of mine, who very kindly agreed to chat with me on today's podcast episode. We had such a great time chatting, and I know you'll love today's episode as much as I do! I definitely plan to have him back at some point. Maybe for a book chat? Let me know in the comments over on https://thepickybookworm.com/steve-hugh-westenra and let us know a book you'd like us to read and chat about. For today's episode, we covered subjects that could each be several hours in themselves, but sadly, the episode is only just over an hour. So I guess you'll have to come back! Until Next Time, Friends!

P.S. there are a couple points that Steve forgot we don't cuss on the podcast, but it was toward the end of the episode, so please excuse the language. I'm only noting this because I do have to mark today's episode explicit just in case. We also talk about sex in books, even though we don't go into explicit detail.

Stacia Kaywood was so kind to join me today for another episode of The Picky Bookworm podcast! Stacia is a romance author, with one book currently available and more on the way. She loves writing happily ever after stories, and even though the story in the middle isn't always the cheeriest, knowing how the story is going to end gives her the push she needs to keep writing. She loves getting inspired from all sorts of things, and when she started writing mid-pandemic, she kept that inspiration close so she would know she could do it. I absolutely loved chatting with her, and I hope you enjoy our discussions surrounding book covers! Head over to my website for notes on today's show, links to Stacia's book, as well as her social media, so you can hang out with her. If you enjoy today's episode, please share with your friends, and leave a comment! I love them and respond to each one! Until Next Time, Friends!

Welcome back, friends! I'd like you to meet the world's favorite author! At least, that's how Jon Monson, today's guest, introduces himself in his newsletter to his subscribers. The way he sees it, if he keeps saying it, eventually it might come true. I gotta tell ya, he definitely has earned a title as "one of my favorite podcast guests," because we had so much fun! the hour flew by, and I'm willing to bet, given half a chance, we could have talked for at least an hour more. I'm super excited for the rest of his trilogy to release, so I can read and review for you, but in the meantime, enjoy today's episode! I'll have show notes up very soon, so watch for those. They'll include links to Jon's website and newsletter, as well as his other books and the books he recommended during the show. Have a great time, and until next time, friends!
