SHOCKER - I'm the Whole Damn Meal

"I don't know if this is kosher to say on public radio or whatever this is..."  Sarah: I mean, I've been described as a snack before and I'm okay with it. Meg: Umm, that's great. I'm the whole damn meal. "If you have a four-legged tongue... call me."  This week we're here to discuss the wonderful and beautiful mess that is Meg Becker. A contemporary romance author who, yes, I am biased, is an incredible romance author. Meg and I met at Between the Pages Writers Con in Springfield, Missouri in 2022 and have become great friends. Not only is she a fierce friend but she is incredibly passionate about writing and taking her readers on that naughty adventure like sex with your boss while you're on a work call or marrying your best friend's twin brother in secret. Her story-telling is next level and I am excited you guys are here to listen. So, sit back, grab a drink with us and enjoy.  Feel free to check out her website and, you know what I'm going to say next... GO BUY HER BOOKS. Indie authors don't have big companies to back their efforts, time and energy so buying her books and leaving reviews is the best way to support her and other indie authors like her: www.authormegbecker.com  If you're feeling generous and would like to support my caffeine addiction ... I'd love that, too: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cacklepresence

S2 Episode #13 - PRO TIP

Good grief, this was one of my more favorite episodes to record! Welcome to episode 13 where this episode features a handful of Indie Authors who are here to share their experience and advice to those out there trying to put words on paper. I am so grateful to have met this amazing group of ladies at the Between the Pages (Sheets) Writers Con in Springfield, Missouri. Each of us is so vastly different that come from opposite walks of life yet, as a whole, some of the best/most fun I've ever had in my life. It's been amazing getting to know everyone and continuing on this writing journey together. Cheers to the Good Selling Authors Club!  Authors featured in no particular order. All authors and their information are listed under the linktr.ee site: https://linktr.ee/birdinthehandpodcast Annie Lisenby Meg Becker Lindsey Hobson Keely Brice Maranda Collins Samantha Howell  This episode is proudly brought to you by Yours Truly, the very-caffeinated Sarah.
