Kammeron Polverari (see below for the correct pronunciation of her name, something that is always important to this writer!) is the author of From the Fires Scattered There, a work of historical fiction based on true events. The book released last year, and readers appreciate Kammeron’s attention to detail and accuracy, among other things. One reader…

Impulsivity isn’t always a bad thing, and in the case of Key North, author Jenny Poelman‘s main character in The Alphabet Woods, impulsivity leads to some major changes, challenges, and life lessons. The book released in May 2023 and is well received by readers. One reviewer was impressed with its “interesting characters, engaging story, and…

Having read Seventeen magazine back when I was young, I probably stumbled over Meredith Berlin‘s name on the staff list many times, never knowing that someday in the future, our paths would cross with this series! But here we are, and I’m interviewing the former editor in chief about her debut novel, Friends with Issues,…

Author Kelly Elizabeth Huston and I came together thanks to the Women’s Fiction Writer’s Association. She’s another author I’ve never met and one I’d love to chat with in real life.

While I don’t write memoir, it’s one of my preferred reading genres, and her debut, The Shape of Normal: A Memoir of Motherhood, Disability & Embracing a Different Kind of Perfect, is at the…
