Linda Holmes
Linda Holmes, pop-culture critic at NPR and host of the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast, is out with her debut author of Evvie Drake Starts Over. I loved what Linda had to say about how practicing appellate law helped hone her critical writing; getting used to listening to her own voice; how she manages anxiety and depression, and the difficulty in even acknowledging that she wanted to write a novel.

🎙 Podcast Recommendations 🎙
Hot and Bothered This podcast is all about encouraging people to write Romance novels "as a sacred practice." Vanessa Zoltan, co-host of Harry Potter and the Sacred Text, interviews one of her friends who is writing their very first romance novel, and romance novelist Julia Quinn, gives weekly assignments so listeners can follow along in the process. Their goal is to show that anyone can write a romance novel, and I so support their mission!!
The Clearing In a totally different tone, The Clearing is about a woman who for years suspected that her father might have been a murderer. This is the cold case she stumbled upon that proved her correct. It's fascinating.
