246: Kerry Cullen (HOUSE OF BETH) & Nicky Gonzalez's MAYRA
In This Episode:
Kerry Cullen drops in, in person, so I smoke a cocktail (and forget to mention that Manhattans contain vermouth). We get to talking about working in books and then writing a book, shocking your writing group, and the best places to write. And then we talk about Mayra by Nicky Gonzalez, another book about a character revisiting their past and finding ghosts.
