I’ve been super busy as 2022 comes to a close. After my first three novels, I decided to break with routine and to publish a short story collection.

I love podcasts. Many, may years ago, I was a radio journalist. I so love radio, so I’ve been even more thrilled to see the popularity of podcasts in recent years. One of the podcasts I frequently follow is one hosted by the Women’s Fiction Writers Association entitled Hear Us Roar, and hosted by author…
