05.01.2022 It was super cool to chat with best selling author Victoria Purman and library powerhouse Tracey Noah for our Library Through the Lens webinar. Victoria asked me lots of questions about writing, publishing, short stories and of course Thrill Me. I got such a kick out of hearing which stories Victoria has most connected with - it's different for every reader, and I find it so fascinating to learn what people are connecting with. It's like hearing which of your children is most loved! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sutv2k9v-dA
