Our guest today is Laura Jane Williams, who's the author most recently of Our Stop, a new romcom out this summer. It's the story of Daniel and Nadia, who take the 7.30 train every morning. One morning, Nadia's eye catches sight of a post in the daily paper: To the cute girl with the coffee stains on her dress. I'm the guy who's always standing near the doors… Drink sometime? So begins a story of near-misses, true love, and the power of the written word. Laura and I talked about what makes train travel romantic, what she thinks of the chick lit label, how she feels about her four-book deal, and more.
