Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1609843/open_sms] This episode wraps up my series featuring the 2024 Canadian Book Club Award winners. I sit down with two children’s book authors, a YA author, and an anthology author for a wide-ranging conversation about cats, creativity, and the power of books to make us feel less alone. I also share the origin story of the Red Fern Book Review name and discover how early reading experiences sparked a lifelong love of storytelling in each of us.

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1609843/open_sms] I had the chance to talk with four of the 2024 Canadian Book Club Award Winner about the writing and publishing process. We talk titles, character development and backstory. Each of the authors has written in a different genre, which made for a compelling discussion. Our conversation was far-reaching—from sex parties and trips to Mars to roadkill and stately homes.
