How to use the turn of a page as a cliffhanger, and hey, would you still write if you knew you weren't going to be published? Don't miss this awesome conversation today!


Airlie Anderson is the author and illustrator of children’s picture books Only: The Bird Who Liked Being Alone, Neither, Cat’s Colors, Cat’s Seasons, and more. She grew up in California and spent a lot of time reading and drawing, as well as swimming and pretending to ride a horse. Her early influences were animation art, pop art, and comics. Airlie attended the Rhode Island School of Design, where she majored in illustration and focused on children’s books, a natural choice given her love for saturated color and expressive characters. She now lives in beautiful, underrated New Jersey with her family, and enjoys the close proximity to New York City (book country)! She is the recipient of the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award, the Independent Publisher Book Award, and the Practical Preschool award.

Barbara O’Neal is the author of more than a dozen award-winning, bestselling novels, including the runaway bestseller, When We Believed in Mermaids, which has been published in 21 countries and spent many months on both the most sold and most read Amazon Charts, as well as the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Washington Post bestseller lists. Barbara is an avid traveler and passionate cook, and discovered the Oregon coast on a pandemic-era trip with her husband. She now lives on that rocky, moody coast in a quirky beach house and writes her books from a room overlooking the sea. She lives with her British husband, who has promised to never lose his accent, and their cats and dogs.

Ink in Your Veins - 437 | Getting Unstuck with Anne Kemp
play

04/22/24 • 23 min

Anne Kemp shares the wisdom of just doing SOMETHING to get yourself the slightest bit unstuck - it all adds up!


Anne Kemp is a bestselling author of romantic comedies. She loves reading (and she does it ridiculously fast, too!), gluten-free baking (because everyone needs a hobby that makes them crazy), and finding time to binge-watch her favorite shows. She grew up in Maryland but made Los Angeles her home until she encountered her own real-life meet-cute at a friend's wedding where she ended up married to one of the groomsmen. For real.

Anne now lives on the Kapiti Coast in New Zealand, and even though she was married at Mt. Doom, no...she doesn’t have a Hobbit. However, she and her husband do have a terrier named George Clooney and a NZ Heading dog named Charlie. When she’s not writing, she’s usually with them taking a long walk on the river by their home.


Here's Rachael's Kickstarter, Unstuck!
