Jae is one of my "book besties" and one of the most encouraging people I know. So, of course, I had to have her back on The Picky Bookworm! It's been a while since she's been on to chat, and I didn't really have a plan for the conversation, but I think you'll enjoy it nonetheless! We talked about Jae's debut book, Undergrounder, her desire for rabid fans who will create cosplay from her characters, and she offered some encouraging words for her fellow authors. We definitely had some laughs, so join us as we enjoyed ourselves!Jae's book on Amazon: Undergrounder: (Underground Trilogy Book 1) - Kindle edition by Glass, J.E..

Welcome back, friends! This week on The Picky Bookworm, Daniel Mazur joins me to talk about his books, and gives insight into why he wrote them. His hope with his books is to give encouragement to anyone who has gone through or is going through the same thing. Daniel doesn't call himself an "author," even though he has written and published two books. He does, however, have a website where you can check out his books, and he has an email address that he always answers where you can keep in touch. He enjoys making new friends, just as I do, so feel free to send him an email if you have any questions or comments for him! His email address is [email protected] Dan's Socials Website: http://corvalues.net/ Twitter: twitter.com/CValues79958 Facebook: facebook.com/corvalues YouTube: (218) CORValues - YouTube Instagram: instagram.com/corvaluesbook The video of this podcast episode is available on Dan's Youtube channel, so be sure to go check that out as well! Until Next Time, Friends!

Hey, friends! Welcome back! I've been a fan of James Bow ever since I read The Night Girl years ago. For some reason, I was never able to find him on social media, to tell him how much I loved Perpetua and her gang of goblins, but apparently that's because I was looking in the wrong place. I'm never on Facebook, and that's one of the places he's most active. Anyway, James emailed me a few weeks ago, and asked me to read and review his new book, The Sun Runners, and of course it got added to my Amazon wishlist. Haven't read it yet, but it's on the list. And, of course, I invited James to come chat on the podcast! I wanted a chance to fangirl over The Night Girl, and give him a chance to tell you all about his new book. So, here we are :) I hope you enjoy!
