In this episode, we're diving into Raven and the literary world of author Anne Gregor. Anne also shares a little behind the scenes Q&A. From childhood dreams of flying characters to a 600-page historical novel tucked away in a drawer, Anne's path to publishing is anything but ordinary. She shares her daily writing rituals (hello peanut butter), how she conquers writer’s block, and what’s next in her Scottish Lion and Irish Wolves universe, including an upcoming book titled Irish Goodbye that promises to shake things up. We also have a call with a special guest! Lauren, a true bookworm and thoughtful reader, shares her take on Raven, the first book in Anne’s Irish Wolves series. Lauren discusses plot twists, spicy moments, age gaps. We also chat about Harry Potter nostalgia, reading for comfort, tandem reading, and how audiobooks make family reading time extra special.
