130. CARA TANAMACHI: Two things at once! Blending romance and true crime podcast vibes

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2316897/fan_mail/new] This week on LiteraryHype podcast, I'm chatting with the lovely author Cara Tanamachi aka Cara Lockwood. She's been writing for years, but now she's trying a little twist on her romance: blending in some mystery and murder. Kiss, Marry Kill is her latest release, and it features a shamed true crime podcaster heading home to her small town, only to realize one of the three guys she's dating might be the killer she's been chasing all along. Join us for a fun conversation about food, romance, mystery, and as a warning, we do touch a little on her battle with breast cancer.
