What an interesting and thought provoking author interview. Carol does such a great job and brings out awesome responses to her in depth questions.
I look forward to learning what inspired the authors and hearing stories behind the books. I also enjoy the audiobook excerpt that sometimes follows the interview. Keep up the good work!
