Karen and Tess found attorney turned novelist Barbara Hinske's interview to be both entertaining and informative. During the talk Barbara discussed how her father's writing legacy served as her inspiration and how extensive research on guide dogs for the vision impaired led to her well-loved and encouraging novel, GUIDING EMILY. She also regaled us with the story of the party she threw to celebrate the airing of THE CHRISTMAS CLUB, a Hallmark Channel movie based on her novel of the same name.
This is an interview you won't want to miss!

Xio Axelrod on Her Internal Soundtrack

Karen and Tess enjoyed talking to USA Today bestselling author Xio Axelrod. She told us how she became a novelist (quite by accident), and how her background as a composer of music informs her lyrical writing style. The ladies were fascinated to hear that as a melophile Xio literally has an internal soundtrack playing all the time. Her fiction is inclusive and will appeal to anyone who loves music and those who love to see influential women characters in rock band fiction. You heard it here first: their time has come.
An added bonus? Xio explained how it's possible to have "part-time" cats as pets.
Her newest book is: The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes: A story of love, loss, and rock-and-roll
