Join us for this ANOTHER messy and spicy episode, with our featured author of the week, Mo Flames!

During this half hour episode, Mo Flames walks us through how she lets her characters 'show' themselves during the writing process, the magic number of beta readers they like having for their stories, why 'six degrees of separation' works in her stories and so much more.

After the podcast, be sure to check out the link below for more about this incredible author!

Mo Flames is a charismatic woman with the gift of touching lives and causing uproars with her words. However, her gift of writing was almost overlooked in her teens. “After having to compose a work of fiction, my English teacher, Mr. Peyton strongly suggested that I hone in on that talent. I took his advice and began writing short stories in a journal.” Mo Flames reflects. And those that began experiencing her writing are glad that she did.

Now that Mo Flames' debut novel ONE AIN'T ENOUGH is being re-released, she is excited to present readers with even deeper entertainment and insight as they continue on the journey as she releases the long awaited sequel, ONE STILL AIN'T ENOUGH in July 2022!
