Hello!
Welcome back to the show. This is our first "All-Canadian" episode, and we had the chance to sit down and chat with another two wonderful authors from the Writing Community. Glad you could join us, and I hope you enjoy the show. Cheers!
Several key points & names came up during our chat, so I've added them here. It's a good reference point, and I know will add one or more to my TBR (to be read) pile at some point soon.
